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
Rajko, I don't give a rat's arse what was used to create this Beta: KIWI or DODO or EMU or CHICKEN!
It was about Live CD, that doesn't install at all.
The simple fact is that what I downloaded does not install. I have tried at least 5 different ways of installing 10.3 Beta 1 with 3 different HD combinations and file systems (reiserfs vs ext3) and nothing gets correctly installed.
More about problems would be better, than general "it does not install". You are long enough around to know how useless is critique without details. You waste your time writing post, other reading it. It is Beta software and you are either ready for problems or avoid it.
(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.
Some beta bugs are annoying, but, as others mentioned, it is a beta.
I would be most delighted if you could tell me how you managed to install anything on the ADDON NON OSS cd and to have Midnight Commander and the kernel source installed.
I used online Factory repository for both. I got to check current kernel version, before source download, as Factory is moving target, but short before and after any release it is frozen. So it is (was) possible to have all you want from there. Though with Beta it was interesting as zypper.db was corrupt. It is known bug and there is a workaround.
I would also be *ECSTATIC* if you could tell me where you got the DVD version of Beta 1 of 10.3 containing ALL the software needed to install the full version of Beta 1 of v10.3.
The full version is the FTP one, but DVD's are available using bittorrent: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/iso/torrent/ You can choose binaries and/or sources. For kernel sources you don't need DVD marked with SOURCES, as they are included on main DVD. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
