2. Just after the installation, music player was not working, however, I just opened the file 'codecs-kde.ymp' (after downloading it) and it said me some warnings like that of some other repositories....(looked to me as if it is like that....), like 'pacman' or something else and it WARNED me that 'it could crash your system' BUT I just accepted that (I cannot live without music!) and I guess openSUSE is made by so skilled persons, why not to accept that warning, I did that....Now the music is working (amarok, etc...) But is it dangerous (that something like ...'pacman'...website..) and it was directly importing some keys from their (I don't know for which keys it warned me...). So was it safe?
Packman is pretty safe, and it is the only way we can have multimedia. You can also have a look here at the "stikies": http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/
3. I created one user during installation and gave its password. Now, is this user [which has system administrative privileges (was written underneath the user when I created it)] having some sort of root powers ... or that is different? Since when I go to yast, it says me to enter the root password and I only enter the password of this created user (with which I log-in too) and yast works, so by default that is the password of root also? Or different (since I didn't set the root password and it is accepting that password..!). Or could root password be set separately..?
You normally will have a plain user and root, and typically both have the same password. Some of us think this is wrong, so if you want you can just change the password for root.
4. After the live CD installation (KDE, x86_64), when I opened the Yast, it automatically was downloading files, so is it always safe that it downloads all those files (I don't know what exactly those all files and stuff...) it download and uses it.
What the yast package manager loads first are the updated indexes of the packages it can offer for you later. It doesn't install anything unless you tell it so.
5. When I opened the Firefox, it is saying its version is '4.0b12', so it is not stable, it may have some bug remaining (what I came to know...) so how could I do it (or make it) remain the stable Firefox version....Since I read (somewhere) that 'b' and 'alpha' releases are development releases and not stable, so they may have some sort of bug(s)...
That is because you have just installed. Go to yast, open the "online update" an it will update a lot of things, including firefox. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
