How do you get the ISO file

English Install/Boot/Login

I’d like to get the ISO file onto a DVD so I can see if I can install Opensuse. Having problems doing that. I went to the site: https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/leap and downloaded the file ‘DVD Image for DVD & USB stick’. I chose ‘Download via Metalinks’ because the page recommended that option. Then I checked the Downloads folder to see if the file was there, and it is. Next, I need to get the file onto a DVD, but when I open Imgburn and click the ‘Browse for a file’ icon, it doesn’t show up.

Right clicking on the file in Downloads doesn’t offer Imgburn as an option.

No answers in the guide either: https://opensuse-guide.org/installation.php

I’m trying to do a very basic thing, download a file and burn the ISO onto a DVD. But for some reason I can’t. The wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Download_help#Burn_the_ISO_image.28s.29 isn’t explaining what I’m doing wrong and when I tried searching this forum for answers, it gives me an error message. So I registered to ask. If this has been answered before, I apologize, please just direct me to the answer.

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
Sounds like you did not download the iso image but a meta link for bittorrent to download…

I would suggest the next link which is ‘Pick a Mirror’ then browse for something close to your location and download the file ending in iso, eg;

http://mirror.dal10.us.leaseweb.net/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.1/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.1-DVD-x86_64.iso

and then a file(sha or md5 hash) to check the download is good (you will need to look for a md5sum or sha sum exe on the internet), see at the top of the page;

Another thing: burn the ISO to DVD ‘as image’. Do not just burn the iso file to disk.
