On slower connections we sure do not suggest to use the 1-CD installations. They are made for a market with high bandwith connection. And it's installed by default if you do a 1-CD+FTP or a DVD installation.

There may also be people who download the 1-CD media because the do have a rather slow connection and want to try out openSUSE without having to download the whole DVD. If they see that the online update uses delta packages, this may eventually convince them to chose openSUSE as their distribution. Other people may install without network access (i.e. because the have wireless which doesn't work during installation in 10.3) and add additional software afterwards, so the deltarpm might not get installed in such a case. So if there's still a few KB space left, I suggest to include it. If not... well, it's not nice but most people will be able to live with it. Maybe 11.0?

Your procedure was wrong. The nv driver, is the opensource driver, and You do'nt need to execute "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia", because this parameters for sax2 are for the propietary driver. The propietary driver appear in xorg.conf as "nividia", and the opensource driver appear as "nv". For installing the propietary driver, You can download it from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html You must has installed the kernel source, and must go to init 3, and executing the file with "sh nvidia*.run" as root. Later after completed the nvidia script, execute "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

As it can be seen from my bugreports that avetter reopened I share the opinion that 32-bit Firefox should be shipped. Especially since software.opensuse.org has no "warning" about downloading the x86_64 version. However I don't think the decision has anything to do with ideology. When people install x86_64 they don't want 32-bit Firefox - they want to run full 64-bit so they can enjoy all the imaginatory performance improvements. Now we even have 64-bit OOo.. Flash works with nspluginwrapper with 64-bit Firefox - I don't know how many people actually come across java webapplets - personally I only need it for homebanking - but that of course is enough to make me install 32-bit Firefox - which I tested and "downgrading" ran without incident, except for me having to remove classpath-webplugin - and that issue will be fixed. I think that x86_64 users should expect some bumps here and there - but I also think that this should be noted on s.o.o .. we had that discussion before, but since these events show it's relevance I'm bringing it up again. It should somehow be communicated that x86 is the safest/simplest choice - also with x86_64 hardware. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

I've tried a few other 32-bit distros, but I've been reluctant to spend much time with them because we use Novell OES at work. I tried installing 64-bit NLD on my work PC, but had to back off because too many things didn't work (at that time). I apologize for complaining without sufficiently testing other distros. ....Gregg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
