Index of /distribution/11.1-Alpha2/iso/torrent
The DVD x86-64 version is coming down at near 400 Kbs with 2 seeders:)
I tried an internet install yesterday & it went OK; it was when I tried to add to the basic (minimum) install that I messed it over (lots of broken dependencies). I’ll be glad to get the DVD to start with:)
Warning
Don’t use on production machines, and make sure to backup your data before installing on any machine. You have been warned:sarcastic:
I have 11.1-Alpha2 installed and nearly completely configured.
I must say it’s far better than the previous 11.0 KDE4 install upgraded to KDE4.1.
I’m running linux-unvm 2.6.26-14-default #1 SMP and as best I can tell, so far all my hardware works on my desktop install.
11.1 is gonna be a winner IMHO;)
I have downloaded this twice now and each time I get the same MD5SUM which does not match that listed here
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Alpha2/iso/torrent/MD5SUMS
Does anyone else share this experience, or even shed some light on why this should be so?
I am very reluctant to install an iso where there is a checksums discrepancy.
I’ve noticed the same.
I’m in the processing of downloading it (again for the 3rd time) and I’ll post the torrent that I do get (so we can compare).
Correction to that. You posted the md5sum of the torrent, and not the iso file.
I have had bad luck with the iso file (which is different).
The correct md5sums are here:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Alpha2/iso/delta/MD5SUMS.of.DVDs
29c95cbdfa955a5948014d6f0322ae34 openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso
e33ff142004d94c2226a28f745572d42 openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2-DVD-ppc.iso
2c4540dee4b0a42680c97527c559d152 openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2-DVD-x86_64.iso
I finally, in my 3rd bittorent attempt, obtained the correct md5sum:
29c95cbdfa955a5948014d6f0322ae34 openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso
As a further note, openSUSE-11.1 alpha2 installed successfully. I installed a KDE-3.5.9 desktop (no 3.5.10 yet) and it appears reasonably stable (surprising for an alpha, although the desktop selection may have a lot to do with that stability).
Hi guys.
I have the same experiences since Aplha1. I tried to download every Alpha three times, but md5sums didn´t match. Every time i obtained 29c95cbdfa955a5948014d6f0322ae34 for openSUSE-11.1-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso.
Just to be sure i also checked all installation dvd media, but always i obtained result with errors and that installation medium is broken.Even though i tried to instal Aplha2, but every time froze. :’(
So, i anounced it to bugzilla: Bug 419859 - Can’t download correct installation dvd iso
Hi folks,
I got original 11.0 DVD from Novell, and even that reports with 6 of 10 trials wrong checksum when I let the ‘check install media’ run from menu…
so it seems to me that since 11.x the checking software is somewhat crazy…
tested that on 4 different machines, and 2 of them had brandnew DVD ROMs (one was a brandnew HP Proliant server).
Same happens also with a self-burned DVD from downloaded ISO although the md5sum is ok when calculated over the ISO…
so had not much luck yet with 11.x
:’(
That IS the correct iso.
I don’t understand your post.
… I don’t think so, … there are some misleading posts above (IMHO). Both the md5sum and the “media check” on the DVD are correct.
I had bad luck on my first two bittorent downloads (the 1st may have been finger trouble on my part) but on my 3rd download attempt I obtained the correct md5sum. I burned to DVD with the iso from my 3rd download, and also ran the “media check” on the burned DVD. It passed the media check.
I installed 11.1 alpha2 selecting kde-3.5 desktop. It was a non-event and rather boring (and 11.1 alpha2 was far too stable (with kde-3.5.9) for an alpha). I think I will re-install with kde4, just to make this a bit more of a challenge.
Thank you for the explanation on the checksum. My bad in not understanding the significance of the Delta folder.
I have installed the KDE 4 version and it is looking good. My previous ATI driver, screen display resolution and Intel wi-fi issues are well on the way to being resolved.
Not keen on the new Partitioner though, it is a bit too single minded in insisting things be done its way and not mine.
It required a restructure of my hard disk to accommodate it.
Not to worry, it is all in the name of progress I am sure.
I struggled a bit with the new partitioner, until I discovered the “rescan disks” button. Clicking that removed the openSUSE installer recommendation and left me with the partitions “as detected”. It was a simple matter then of assigning a " / " and " /home " to the partitions that I wanted assigned.
If that is the correct iso, why did i obtain every time as a result errors and install medium is broken?
This is strange for me.
Did you run the media check? That is a DVD option.
Also, ensure you burn at the slowest speed your burner allows, to high quality media (ie for example, don’t burn to a low quality no-name-brand DVD-RW that you have used a few dozen times before).
Yes, that is what i did.
And i use branded dvd.But i´ll try slower speed.
If you do a custom partition, expand the disk tree on the left and your disk of choice & then click on the partition of your choice and a window for that partition will come up along with the commands we are used to;)
