Confused with http://openqa.opensuse.org/cgi-bin/currentresults

I have d/l the DVD file for build 0314 but am confused.

The d/l file is called:

openSUSE-DVD-x86_64-Build0314-yastdevel_l1.gz

which I have extracted using ark which gives me the file called:

openSUSE-DVD-x86_64-Build0314-yastdevel_l1

but how do I turn this into an iso?

Many thanks

So, normally in order to download iso files, they should include “iso” in their name. Why not try looking in this folder if you want something other that openSUSE 12.2 M2 to play with?

Index of /pub/opensuse/factory/iso

Thank You,

Thanks for posting.

I did try M2 when it came out but hit a few road blocks. Tried again yesterday and updated using factory (about 500 updates) and all is well. I was just trying to get a snapshot (backup install media) but can’t work out how to make the downloaded file from openQA into a usuable format.

I don’t read in that page that you can download the ISO from them. It is a
test suite, not the factory ISO.

On the test page - as per this eample

openQA

there are four options to the left. One of which is to d/l the disc image - so I had guessed that the gz file would be unzipped as an iso fle

All openqa tests are run on virtual machines. The disk image that you would
download is that of the resulting virtual disk. You can download it, attach it
to a VM, and run it. Those files are not for installing.
