What is the difference between delta-DVD and normal DVD iso?

The delta is not a dvd. Is a file used to construct the next iso from the previous one.

Restricted FROM using torrent or Restricted TO using torrent? There is a big difference.

If you get it, only install it on a "spare" box or plan on cleaning the hard drive and going back to what you had loaded before. KDE 4.0 ISN'T anywhere near ready for prime time - way too many bugs and features missing like not being able to hide the taskbar.....based on the 64-bit live CD I played with. I fear that KDE 4.0 won't be ready for the June 16th release date. It would be MUCH better if 11.0 doesn't go "gold" until KDE 4.0 is solid and ALL features are present and there's NO glitches with any of the software that anyone has been using under KDE 3.*.

Maybe the current 11.0 should be renamed 10.4 I really LIKE SuSE as a platform, but sometimes their decision-making makes me feel like ripping my hair out. Nobody among us really needs a repeat of the 10.0 fiasco.

No, we don't, and presently - presently - 11.0 will make 10.0 like perfect! I can't find fault with the OS...everything seems solid, just KDE 4.0!

Somebody that mixed 10.0 and 10.1. I was using 10.0 until 10.2 came out.

No way.

You can install KDE3 instead. Why don't you?

If you are complaining about how the choices of desktop are presented when you install, this was discussed time ago in the factory list, and the decision was made. It was there and then when you people should have talked, not here and now.

And remember that if kde4 has such big problems, that's mostly the kde people fault, not suse.

Per other posts in this thread, all the desktops supported will be offered on an equal basis with no default.

However, without warning that KDE4 is still beta (by any sane definition), people will see 3.5 and 4, and decide higher is better and get a really bad experience.

It needs to have specific verbiage stating its still not fully functional, and until it is fully functional, it should strongly suggest installing 3.5 as well so that users can select their session at login and get back to fully functional again.

It is not possible to select both desktops during installation process - I"ve tried. It's either one of the other..... One has to install the second option using Yast2 AFTER the installation has completed (and after your first login).

Further, 3.5.* and 4.0 DON'T play well together. Fred -- MickySoft Aims to Lasso Everything With Live Mesh.

You do not need to wait. Once you are presented with the options to install with the software you then choose to make changes to the packages selected to install. You then go to package groups and you can select all the groups. This includes all the desktops. So you do not have to wait for the install to complete. You just have to make the choice after the initial Decktop selection, at the package selection.

openSUSE hasn't endorsed a specific desktop since 10.0. Just as it has been, you're given the option of KDE or GNOME. I do believe, also, that both KDE 3 and 4 will be offered.

So we're told......the Live CD doesn't give one that choice....UNfortunately. I probably would be best to have a Live CD with KDE 3.5.* and make mention that it is the stable release.

Respectfully disagree. In 10.0/10.1 an 10.2 I had a choice. In 10.3 I had a choice of KDE or GNOME; I am considering a change on distribution to one that allows me the non-desktop I want. ==John ffitch

I have tried 11b2 on the laptop Compaq Presario V5030 AMD Turion64 ATI graphics(yuk) rtl8139 network card and the inevitble Broadcom wirless and have had some strange to say the least happenings. 11b2 cant set the network up at all just refuses to get a gateway completely DHCP system with all other machines behaving perfectly (even a flippin windBlows machine whne pulgged into the network works instantly) The wirless thing i expect hassles with thats nothing new but now it gets weired if i run KDE3 it is ok as root or user, If i TRY to run KDE4 as root it will run once then never again and as a user it refuses point blank to run at all it gives no error reports in any of the logs , It is totally brain DEAD the ability to change the desktop to your likes is non existant this machine has 1.5Gb of ram with 256Mb on the vodeo card and the single time i can get KDE4 to run it is so SLOOWWWWWWWWWWWW i take a shower whilst waiting for a program to load even something small like Kmahjongg (KDE4 version) takes forever then try the same on KDE3 and bang it's there quick as you like . KDE4 will not be ready for the 11 release but the idiots in there ivory towers have a preset ajenda and they will not change they have got to try and release something that is worse than darn windBloWs Pista just so that the MS community dont feel threatened . The installition choices are ALL wrong we should hve KDE3 at the top then Gnome then with a warning that is still Alpha code and very unstable KDE4 Suse is a KDE distribution stick to it with a GOOD and WORKING version of KDE not an Alpha code or as has been said rename 11 to 10.4 and release 11 when there is a FULLY working STABLE FULLY FEATURED version of KDE4 to use I know there are people in suse that are going to get the hump about messages likr this it is known as tough . there are certain people within suse that need to learn a few manners some of the replies i have seen from within suse on this list are to say the least impolite and Germanic for want of a better description. I have been using suse since the early days and have always liked it but the way it is going now makes me wonder it really does . thats enought for now Pete . -- SuSE Linux 10.3-Alpha3.

Some of us (or at least one of us) hate Gnome and KDE. On 10.3 it imported much to much grunge for them (KDM for example) which I do not want. Am I correct that 11.0 is embedding these things even deeper? ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
