Downloaded the 64 bit suse 10.3 beta1 via torrent. After 3 days of downloading, I can burn the dvd, md5 checks OK, but, machine will not boot from it. Burned another, same thing. I can read the files on the disk, just not boot from it. Is this a bug or is there something special with this dvd.

I've seen some bugs similar to yours coming in bugzilla. Something looks rather fishy on 64-bit x86-64 with linuxrc (I expect you do not see the YaST Language selection at all).

Nope, I downloaded Beta1 64-bit DVD x86-64 just yesterday, it checks out fine in the media check and I can boot from it without problem (had to change the device order, though). I can change the language to German and the installation is started in German as well. The real show-stopper comes when I choose to update an already installed Opensuse 10.2 x86-64 as base for the installation. During the dependendy check of the installed rpms it shows 27 packages that can not be updated. So far no problem. Unfortunately when I choose to delete the not-updatable packages, the system freezes solid. Not on the first package, but somewhere in the middle. Tried it twice now, once from top of list and second time from bottom of list. Last package I choose to delete was libgcj41-32bit. The only thing moving after that was the mouse cursor. It was just like working with Windows. (^-^) Since no Installation on harddisk happened yet, I can't provide you with any log. :-( -- Sandy List replies only please!
