[opensuse] 10.3 boxed sets
We buy openSUSE boxed sets (we have a Novel site license for all Novell products that I think allows us to use SLED, but we like openSUSE). We have noted something unexpected in these sets: the latest ones we have gotten have slightly different contents than the earlier ones. For example, a few RPMS that were missing on the earlier DVD are now present on the later DVDs. I say 'earlier' and 'later' relative to when we obtained them. Is this expected? If so, where can I find out what the differences in the DVDs are? I recall that it was claimed on this list that the recovery system on the original DVDs (or at least the released GM DVD) was broken and could damage a system. If that was true, would it also be the sort of thing that changed on the DVDs? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

Assuming you're talking about the most recent release (10.3) you should get the same DVD and packages each time. AFAIK, the only time we've updated a DVD release is with the 10.1 download DVD. If you have two different DVDs of the same release from retail, I'd be very interested to get more info from you on this.
