10.1 Rc1 Is A Nightmare!

Ya, RC1 has a lot of probs updating...take a look at most annoying bugs:

SUSE Linux 10.1 RC1
Large scale testing showed a couple of issues especially with update of systems. I would advise everybody to be carefull in updating a system - and not update a production system (see below).
The bootloader shows "SUSE Linux 10.1 10.1" Bug 165466
Installation of packages from the installation source with rug/zen-installer fails in the installed system Bug 165597. We have put fixed packages (zen-updater, rug, libzypp-zmd-backend) for this on the ftp server, download them from [1] .
Updating from a previous beta tries to delete far too many packages. You should see conflicts for this in the installation proposal. Bug 165798
Every update adds another selection to the system Bug 160792.[/b]

I'm still having problems getting mp3 playback with amarok.

It happened to once that the cd was corrupted and I had to burn the ISOS again but a little slower that time. It worked for me.
