That’s because of the changed naming scheme 
The only “old” one left is RC
Milestones remind me too much of an evil software corporation from Redmond 
@Knurpht
That’s all true, but users new to factory milestones would have been encouraged to give it a spin by plenty of positive posting from “old-hands” (not oldcpu) about how good kde4.3 is and “no problems here”, etc. In their enthusiasm, probably not picking up detail e.g. it was on 11.1 or the later posts included bugs. Perhaps an “old-hand” should think twice about boasting, posting of using 11.2 or even the latest rc kernel for their daily use. The less experienced may naively be influenced into thinking if it’s that good why not go for it. It may have been good enough with M1 through to M4, but M5 is the serious reality checkpoint.
Maybe but i can’t help you with that now since using M5 presents no problems for me 
lol! Yeah right, and the cheque is in the post. BTW, I wasn’t looking for help.
As a tester, you are supposed to be breaking it, not posting about how everything works for you.
I am posting some installation quirks
ahhhh rubbs hands
had a burned out version of milestone 2
works fine!!
thanks!
I have an Asus g71gx-rx05 from best buy. It has a Nvidia GTX260m video card with 1gb of ram for video. I also upgraded the wifi card to an intel 5300 and I can not get either of to work in either OpenSuse 11.1 or 11.2 m5 build. I would much like to get them to work under one of them…
Couldn’t you be more precise of what is not working??
how does a linux geek make love? with his repositories
when i click on the network area for wifi it is greyed out and can not select anything…
I can’t help You with wifi but with nVidia How did you install the drivers if you installed them at all?
i tried under 11.1 and it did not work with the nvida single install it would place me into a dos box it you will upon reboot… i tried 11.2 m5 and no drivers will work so far the ones from nvidia are for 11.1 only
“no drivers will work as they are for 11.1 only”?? You didn’t use the drivers from the repo for 11.1 did you :)??
To install the drivers go to nvidia and download latest version for your cpu architecture.
save it anywhere.
Open tty1 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, login then gain root privileges by typing su and giving the root password. Type /etc/init.d/xdm stop, go to the directory where the drivers are and type sh NVIDIA-whatever-version-and-arch-it-is.run -q, after succesfully compiling type again /etc/init.d/xdm start
P.S. To compile anything on the PC you need kernel-source, make and gcc (for 11.2 you need kernel-default/desktop-devel, kernel-syms (they will pull kernel-source).
since i cant print is their a one click install like on windows just click setup.exe
There is one click install but for 11.1, here:
NVIDIA - openSUSE
still does not work… for 11.1 and refused 11.2 milestone 6 just released today… under 11.1 it would load and go to a dos prompt
I forgot, after compiling the drivers invoke as su sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia then start x with /etc/init.d/xdm start
