Plus, most http mirrors now have an 11.1 folder in “distribution” that I fully expect to be turned on at the given hour. Watch for the official announcement tomorrow AM and go to your favorite mirror.

Ah, what a tease! Not up on novell.co.jp yet…

Looks like I’ll have to bide my time by biting my fingernails for a bit longer…

I am downloading both live cds now from the link that snake driver posted, i also have the torrent for the dvd but no seeders yet.

Pity there aren’t any delta isos. It’s pointless to download a DVD every time.

Have fun!

THANKS!!! I LOVE YOU!!:wink:
;( There is no x86_64 delta iso ;( NOOOOOOOO
I need x86_64 dvd delta iso anyone :)?

probably a matter of time. It doesn’t make any sense to only release x86 delta iso’s. Check the server tomorrow.

Every delta iso You want !! YEAH!!
Enjoy

P.S. I didn’t wait and found myself a working ftp server hue hue

I subscribe to that. I think that, if anybody, we, FOSS users, should make it a matter of principle to share bandwidth whenever possible, thus distributing the network load more evenly, lending a hand to our beloved distro – and, last but not least, hopefully reducing the amount of global e-pollution a bit. That’s what P2P genuinely is – and not just another word for piracy and copyright infringement!

I’m trying to upload dvd delta iso for 64 bit image. Later ill be uploading the 64 bit dvd image. Of course through P2P

I plan to install RC1 on my new laptop, possibly install it this weekend. But I need to roll up my sleeves and reduce Vista’s hogging of the hard drive space even more (from its current 126 GBytes to about 75 GBytes, if possible) on my laptop’s 250 GByte hard drive. Down to 126GBytes was the most I could reduce Vista using its GUI shrink menu. I am told one can reduce Vista even more in size (than what one can get using its GUI shrink menu) by using a Vista command line tool. *.

Given my total experience with Vista is less than a few hours, while I am keen on seeing this done, I’m not keen on being the one who has to do this. Hopefully I’ll get over this reluctance, remove Grub (the 11.1 beta5 version) from the laptops MBR with some vista replacement (which I also do not know how to do yet), shrink Vista, and then install RC1.

I have my work cut out for me. :slight_smile:

I also have my fingers crossed that the alsa-driver-snapshop patch that an alsa dev created (to get my laptop’s sound working on 11.1 beta5) will also be in RC1.*

I recommend You backup Your Vista image to somewhere (System Rescue CD and partimage are great for this task), decrease size of Vista partition and voila. I dumped Vista once and for all yesterday saying i will never use it again and I have no more ntfs partitions on my PC lol!

Vista lasted long enough for me to get the MAC address out of it for my wireless filter. I estimate 10mins.

If you really want vista, just go for the shrink, its a new laptop so worst case is you fry your partitioning, if so just reinstall vista with ~50Gb first then rest for SUSE, done.

Hi all,

I have downloaded RC1 and it’s looking good so far. However, I’m having trouble getting networking (wired and wireless) to work. The connection progresses to the ‘IP configuration’ stage, and then it hangs for a minute or two before failing. I don’t have this problem with Kubuntu, but I’m keen to make the switch to opensuse, so any help would be really appreciated.

BTW I am using a D-Link DWA-556 (Atheros 5416).

Thanks!

For the i586 DVD, I’m stuck at 0.9% and there are no seeders.

i would seed if i could get the file lol
it just stalls cause nobody else is seeding yet

I’m joining the Torrent, just for the heck of it.

I’m taking:
openSUSE-11.1-RC1-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso.torrent
openSUSE-11.1-RC1-DVD-x86_64.iso.torrent
I figure DL’ing a 32 bit LiveCD allows me to test the hardware of more
machines than the 64 bit one. On the other hand, I’m taking the 64 bit
DVD, as that fits my main machines.

I did the x86-64 install from the DVD; it all went swimmingly well save for:

  • While the bootloader worked with 11.1 & windows, it didn’t pick up all my other installed OSes; I had to mount them and copy over those sections of the menu.lst.

  • The existing online repos in Yast > repositories didn’t accept the keys (with a possible attacker warning) & had to change those to a mirror & then they worked.

So far all the hardware works:)

Now stuffing the 1st batch of S/W, Packman, vlc, etc. It will probably be this evening before I get to Nvidia, VirtualBox, GoogleEarth, etc – chores ya know;)
