Be sure I will
I did test, with “mixed success”:
- mixed language in installation screens; first third in English, rest in German (what I selected)
- no X because of missing graphic drivers:

Well, at the moment I don’t feel like testing any more.

Thanks, Larry.
I’m trying to pull the torrents now (also posted this to the user mailing
list), but I’m not seeing a tracker or seeds/peers - do you know if
there’s an issue with the tracker?
(Just trying to make sure the problem’s not at my end 
)

Of course, that decision is yours to make; however, if we all chose that option,
we would be running Windows, where testing is largely irrelevant.
For all I know, the translations to German are incomplete. They are added after
the system is working.
If you have problems with X drivers, using the boot option “nomodeset” is
usually the first thing to try.
As you did not say what medium you tried, I don’t know about missing vim. It
likely is not on the Live CDs and will have to be installed separately. Those
systems are stripped so that they fit on a CD. Certainly, vim is found in the
repos - I have seen it being installed from there.
I should have said ‘test and report bugs’. Reporting things here may get you a
workaround, but the real fix only happens after the bug is reported at the
Novell Bugzilla.

German is 99% done. If something, for which openSUSE is the upstream
project (not KDE, for example, but YaST) shows not translated to German, it
is indeed a BUG.

Installed from the DVD.
First problem: The grub install failed. I retried, but it still failed. So I switched to grub1, and that seems to have worked.
Second problem: After reboot, Yast finished with the curses version.
Third problem: There were messages about “iwconfig” missing. During the early part of the install, it did an install from images. Then I saw it delete wireless tools. I have no idea why - probably a bad default software selection. It didn’t occur to me to explicitly select those.
Fourth problem: The X server does not come up. That probably explains the second problem. It looks as if some of the core parts of X were not installed.
Fifth problem: I went into Yast, command line. It did not have the gnupg keys to authenticate the repos. It looks as if they were not installed, either.
Overall impression: I would call it a fail.
I might try later with an install from the live KDE.
Booting the live KDE system looks good. I’ll try installing from that later, then see if I can add the DVD as a local repo for adding other software.
On the DVD install, after deploying images, it deleted a lot. I expected it to delete “postscript” because I configured “sendmail”. And I expected it to delete “icewm-lite” because I went with “icewm-default”. I did not expect anything else.
I don’t recall all of what was deleted. But I saw SuseFirewall2 deleted. I saw wireless tools deleted. I saw a whole bunch of files with names beginning “xf” that looked like video drivers for various devices.
The various deletions were probably the source of all of the problems I had. An install from the DVD may work if you go through and make sure that all required software is selected.

You people should thing of posting in the factory mail list these problems,
as the devs read there. Bugzilla is broken right now.

I’m still having that issue with the tracker here.

It has been a bad day.
Attempt 1 (installing live system). I selected “installation” on the boot menu. The boot hung. I tried that on a different computer, with the same result.
Attempt 2: I booted into the live system, then started the install from within KDE. It failed on installing grub2. I took the option for a retry of the boot setup, and got a system panic.
Attempt 3: Booted the live system, started install from within KDE. I set the install to use grub1. The install completed, but rebooting failed.
Attempt 4: I tried to boot again. It failed again (hung early). Tried again, and selected failsafe. The boot completed. I think the install completed.
So now, the only way that I can run the system is by selecting failsafe. It isn’t a graphics problem. Perhaps it is something wrong in the “initrd”. After making Xorg setuid, I can run “startx” in the failsafe system, which shows the graphics is okay.
I installed to an encrypted LVM. The startup hangs before it prompts for any encryption key. A failsafe boot does properly request the encryption key.
That’s enough frustration for one day. This beta release looks more like an alpha release.
Tried “zypper dup” in my M3 installation. About 1200 packages installed and so far, no serious problems have emerged. Grub 2 works (text mode) and at last the sound seems complete (the bootup jingle is now there). Nouveau installed by default.
If you have a Nvidia card you can get around the issue of X not starting by just adding the Nvidia binary
M
Running Beta1 on VMware Workstation, get this error running yast online update or software.

Thanks for the confirmation, Will. It’s good to know that it’s not just
me.

The installer is hanging when “Searching for Linux partitions”. Is this the same thing for you? IMHO Beta 1 is alpha. Very dissapointing.
However, we need to remember that there were a lot of problems after the drive crash.
disable install from images
I’m not sure where it is hanging.
I did a reinstall, to see if that helped. I had the same problems.
I then edited “menu.lst” and changed “splash=silent” to “splash=verbose”. That completely solved the problem.
It seems that “splash=silent” is blocking the prompt for luks encryption key.
Note that it wasn’t merely hiding the prompt. I did try typing in the key to see if that did anything, but it didn’t help. But verbose mode is allowing that to work. I guess that’s a bug to report.
Interesting suggestion. I might try a re-install using that.
