Running 10.0 on an X86.64 system
Been watching the posts about bit-torrents with interest. Had never done that before and decided I would give it a whirl. Installed Ktorrent and about 12 hours later I have the following file sitting in it's download directory. openSUSE-10.2-Beta2_RC1-DVD-x86_64-delta-iso Claims to be 544.7mb. Not even sure if that is what I need/want. Is it ?????
Actually, it is a great "invention". But, it is not what you want probably. It is a delta iso, meaning it needs to be applied to another "iso", in that case, it is the changes to go from the Beta2 iso (or DVD) to create an iso for RC1. To me, this is one of the best things to come along in a long time. :-) What it means is that if you have already downloaded the DVD from one version (I assume this is just for the alpha-beta-rc cycle), which is large, then to get the DVD for the next you just need to download the delta iso to create the next DVD, so instead of ~3.5GB, you just need 550MB. It sure encouraged me to get into 10.2 to find those bugs to make 10.2 a great distro. There is more info on the opensuse website for delta isos. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
