[opensuse] 10.3 RC1 installation confusion
I took all the defaults after installing the DVD I d/l and cut. However, the majority of the installation seems to be coming off the net instead of the DVD which is painfully slow. Over 4-hrs so far and not even close to finishing. I suspect I should have said NO to the early question about installation repositories. Is this correct? If so why not reverse the logic so that the DVD is the first place to look for RPMS on install and get updates at the end of the installation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Correct. Stephan Kulow announced today that factory has been synced out again. Note that this is the wrong list to ask questions about beta/RC releases. You should go to the opensuse-factory mailing list for this, see [1] for more details. Joining that list will also help you to stay informed about the betas.

This is precisely why it is taking a long time. One of the installation repositories is factory which has newer packages so they will download from there.

It does, it's just that factory has newer versions. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You are absolutely correct in your response which I appreciated. However, it is my opinion that the human interface is not clear and as such one can fall into an unexpected trap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
