Why does the 10.3 (Beta) Live even require the need for a stupid password?
It is Beta created on the fly using KIWI. http://en.opensuse.org/KIWI
(SuSE is going from bad to worse at each "improvement" "release" since Novell bought the German company. I downloaded the CD of 10.3 Beta 1 together with the CD of the ADDON-NON OSS Bi-Arch and there is NO way that I can install all the files/applications: there is no Midnight Commander, no kernel source, no pico or nano, no kradio, et alia.)
I have Midnight Commander, kernel source, and no nano, as I need only one text editor and I'm happy with the one in Midnight Commander. You can use Factory repository to install all missing packages or download DVD.
The CDs downloaded from the SuSE site do not contain mc or the kernel source or nano (pico IS there) - which is not what was the situation in the past.
I cannot do without mc (the file manager of my choice),and the kernel source is ESSENTIAL to be able to install the nVidia driver.
The mc is for me essential tool too, and that is the reason why I configured Factory repositories. It is not big deal as they are already included, just enable them. I can't expect that every package that I like can find place on CD.
Some beta bugs are annoying, but, as others mentioned, it is a beta.
Previous betas did not have these problems. So why now?
Well, how long it takes to accept that openSUSE is changing to give single CD installation with usable desktop for new users. Ubuntu/Kubuntu has no mc either and not many feel that as defect. BTW, The console and mc are tools used by experienced users that should not have trouble to download one more package. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
