Hi Everyone,
I have been evaluating Fedora Core 5 (customising wherever necessary) for use in my organisation. However, recently, I have been looking at OpenSuse as well, and it seems to be very user friendly. However, there are the 5 cds to use, and I am still just beginning with OpenSuse.
Actualy there are 6 CDs to use (or 1 DVD)
Thats why I would like to know a few things if you could help me out: * How well does wine run: which version is it? I am talking about packaged rpms of course. I did try on suse 9.3: their own packaged version seemed to be a bit old, and the version I compiled by downloading from winehq did not work well with ies4linux configuration.
I do not use wine, but I do know that 9.3 is pretty old. 10.1 is much more recent.
* Has anyone tried to create customised installation cds for OpenSuse?
Yes. http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs and http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_SUSE_based_distribution
I did that for Fedora Core 5 recently, with a bunch of rpms from extras, livna, and a few of my own rpms.
use the -a option in makeSUSEdvd
That feature is useful, but not essential. However, being able to do a network install (a local network install, not from the official mirrors). I am sure that Suse should support that, I still have to RTFM, so if you have any quickstart tips, I would be happy to hear them.
Well, RTFM first, then boot from the Net Boot Image: http://openSUSE.org
Thanks, thats all my questions for now, I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards, Prajjwal
