[opensuse] opensuse 10.2 x86_64 installation
Hi, I just did a fresh install of opensuse 10.2 x86_64 (from the downloaded DVD). [Mobo : Asus A8V deluxe, CPU : AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 1Gb RAM., 2x 120 Gb SATA drives, Graphic card is GeForce 4 Ti4200, 128 Mo] I had no problem during the installation step (fast, easy, found windoz partitions automatically and mount it properly). I choosed standard install with kde (thus changed filesystem from reiser 3 to ext3 !) Hardware was correctly identified. Update seems to work nicely (faster than in 10.1, lower CPU usage). The overall system is faster than the previous (10.0) and perfectly running. However, I have several concerns : - After installation of the latest Nvidia driver (9631), 3D acceleration works but CPU usage is 100% (even when launching only glxgears !) Is that normal ? - I could't find any repository which offers the package findutils-locate (locate +updatedb...) I know there is the dog stuff, but I love locate ;-) - A lot of packages which were available with 10.0 and 10.1 are not anymore (some games (foobillard...), utils (aMule...)....) Is it just a matter of time ? Thank you for feedback.

The openSUSE 10.2 DVD was considerably reduced compared to previous releases, so some of the software is not available anymore on the downloadable DVD. It is still available from the DVD on the boxed set (dual-layer one) and on the online installation tree. Check the installation tree for the software you are missing.

Thank you Hugo, I have checked on ftp.opensuse.org and I have found some missing packages ! I will try to look more precisely later. However, I did had the opensuse repositories to the Yast sources. * packman : http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.2/ * opensuse oss : http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/ * opensuse non-oss : http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/ And Yast could not find the packages !! I will check that later.
