[opensuse] GA release of 10.3?
I just downloaded the lastest RC release and I'm installing it now. It came as a single "KDE" CD that causes lots of packages to be downloaded (3GB+ for me). So even if all the packages on the GA cd are good, this approach is going to cause massive package downloading during the install? Is that the way the GA cds/dvds are going to work? I hope not for everyone's sake.

Basically how I understand it (i have not used 10.3 so if anyone can correct me if I am wrong thank you) is that the one CD will get you a functional desktop with either KDE or GNOME (KDE in your case), but during the installation you'll be able to add the full repositories (what's usually on the DVD). That might cause massive downloading. If you'll be reinstalling a lot or installing on many different machines, you might be better off downloading the DVD instead.

I assume that would be RC1.

If you say yes to use the network repos, it will pull all the updates available since RC1 came out, basically upgrading to RC2, meaning a huge download.

No. The main repos of the released versions do not change for years, whereas the factory repos do. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
