Thanks to all for comments and suggestions. Here is my status: I am sure I made a mistake in trying to run cdrecord. I don't think I changed the 'isofile' in the command [under How to burn a DVD under Linux] to the actual file name. So cdrecord is probably OK. Sorry. digikam 5.6 needs additional rpms (no surprise, of course) but I am not in the mood to go that way. The document "How to create a bootable USB stick under Linux" is rather awkward and scary for those who are not experienced with it. It seems to involve a utility download, and reformats (possibly 2). Also the 1-click install does not have an option for Leap 42.2 (or.3). Both DVDs and sticks have good and poor aspects. I still favor DVDs, for reasons given by others. Solution: I found a solution. I have a laptop still running v13.2. I copied the .iso to the laptop and used the k3b there. The DVD appears to run fine on v42.2. I plan to wait a little while before actually doing the install so that the bugs in v42.3 are identified and patched. The pictures can wait. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
