Hi,
The live installers are broken - the GNOME one just seems to crash and
the KDE one looks horrible. As neither is really maintained, I consider
removing the live installer option and concentrate on DVD and NET
installations.
This is how KDE installer looks like:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2503/modules/welcome/steps/1
This is how GNOME installer looks like:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2487/modules/welcome/steps/1
Of course I won’t stand in the way of anyone fixing it, but if noone
does, I’ll remove the live install option in a couple of weeks.
Greetings, Stephan

Thanks for posting, though I would have eventually seen it when I checked the factory mailing list.
It’s a pity. But I don’t have the time or inclination to volunteer on this.
For 13.1, there was a lot of brokenness in the live installer during the pre-release stage, though the released iso mostly worked. For 13.2M0, the live install is badly broken.
It’s not completely clear from Stephan’s message, but I assume that live media will still be provided though without the installer.

But I thought that many here would not.

Even if I had, I don’t have the skills. Nor the internet bandwidth.

Maybe.
The XFCE image is like that: it doesn’t have an installer, and it has
rescue jobs oriented packages.

I downloaded the 13.2 Live CD yesterday. I have not tried it but did
notice there was a note on the download page that no installer was on
the CD. I have not checked the checksums yet and have not burned a
DVD.
I will check yhe sums hopefully tomorrow, have a meeting to go to
tonight.

Did it create all those subvolumes itself, or did you configure those
manually? Interesting.

That is an automatic configuration. I believe it is btrfs
