I tried to install now. It failed at package installation. I will try with an install cd. I can not imagine, what was the problem. Anyone succeeded to install from dvd?

Downloading DVD is a long process for me, so I use only CDs. One of possible problems might be a too fast burning speed. I have seen few times that iso is fine after MD5SUM is checked, but CD failed to install. Lowering the speed to the half of maximum showed in k3b gave good CD. There is many possible reasons and as that happened with Nero's programs too, I would assume that advertised speed of the burner or CD disk is not correct and pits on medium are not deep enough. This is my prime suspect in cases where it burns fine begin of the disc and fails later, and by now lowering speed, sometimes just one step below maximum, worked fine. The same applies for DVDs. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands to organize it and maintain. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are no "pits" in end-user burned media.  Its a dye burning process.

The 'pit' was used for non-reflective surface that is created by heating the surface. Medium can burned (CD-R) or melted (CD-RW), but the effect is that laser has no time to do that properly. Lowering the speed does the trick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_burner I learned that with burner that was advertised as best with Verbatim raw CD media that were a bit 'softer', but at the time not available in local stores. Using that drive with Memorex and lowering speed was solution. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands to organize it and maintain. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
