"Houston we have a problem!" - I downloaded the ISO for the i586 version of Tumbleweed and the installation failed due to missing image files. I checked the installation DVD and sure enough, the image files were all labeled for x64 versions. Why? That obviously was not what the image installation scripts were looking for since I got a complaint, loud and clear, that the image files it was looking for were not to be found on the DVD!
Why isn't there an i586 version of Leap 42.1?
It was decided that a 32bit version wasn't needed. There was a half-baked initiative to create a 32bit version, but it never really got off the ground.
All I get when following the links for installing Leap is for x64 versions and I need to download an OpenSuSE OS for an older system with x32 bit architecture?
I would recommend openSUSE 13.2 plus updates.
Why are there no links from the main openSuSE home page for finding and downloading earlier versions of OpenSuSE? 13.2, 13.1 etc? I had to spend quite a bit of time searching the internet before locating the repositories!
I don't know about the links from the home page, but the download location hasn't changed: http://download.opensuse.org
I encountered a display problem during the installation process which resulted in my screen becoming garbage and unreadable. After many hours of Google searches I discovered that there is a magic option - nomodeset which prevents the installation scripts from trying to reset the video card display settings. Why isn't this option presented as one of the kernel (or perhaps as some other) option that can be set from the installation setup screen by simply checking it?
I have not installed from ISO for such a long time, but doesn't it have a fail-safe option anymore? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
