List, I have been trying to download 12.2 64 bit from the opensuse.org website for 2 days. I primarily use a Mac with osx and just double click to mount a iso. I also get an error about not being able to mount the image on another Mac with osx (so I am sure it is not my Mac that is the problem). These same macs can mount any other image. My question, is anybody else experiencing ISo issues with the opensuse download? I have tried direct download, torrent and other mirrors with the same issue.

Other things to try if you get no direct answers:
1-use a downloader instead of a web browser, e.g. wget or curl.
2-if you're only going to do a few or fewer installs, download and use only the net installer to initialize HTTP instead of DVD installation(s).
Usually I only download the installation kernel and initrd, and begin installation using Grub.

The openSUSE ISO is not mountable by OS X. Are you just wanting to examine the contents of it or something? All you need to do is use Disk Utility burn the ISO to a disc (or USB drive) and then use that to boot your machine. Or, if you're using a VM on your Mac, point the VM to the ISO to load in its virtual DVD drive.

Well, usually in osx you have to mount the image and burn using disk utility. This will burn the contents onto disc. The way that you described usually burns the image/file onto disc. So if I was burning suse12.2.iso, that's what would be in the disc, an ISo and not the contents. Now that may be different when burning an iso verses a dmg. I am trying it the way that you suggest and see if it is in fact bootable and not the actual iso file.-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You can just launch Disk Utility and drag the ISO over to the left hand pane and then highlight it while there is a blank DVD in your drive and click Burn at the top.
My main computer is a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion and this is how I've made several DVDs and CDs (install and Live media) for both myself and friends. :-) You should be good to go!

Any method you use should copy the iso file to the dvd not as a file, but as an exact photo of one another. If you open the iso file and copy the contents you break it.
