12.1 RC1 can now be downloaded as an ISO or updated to from the repositories.
Index of /distribution/12.1-RC1/iso
No sources for the torrent openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0379-x86_64.iso.torrent
Yes, unfortunately no seeders.
So use http in firefox with a download manager if necessary
Yeah, well, I just wanted to point out the situation with the .torrent. I tried to add myself as a seed, but failed… So please someone add yourself as a seed after downloading it.

using ktorrent or bittorrent.

Found it myself, I am now seeding. Forgot to add that I of course verified
the correct md5 sum of the downloaded file before. Have much fun and keep in
mind my upload rate is quite limited.

Never mind. I was just taken back that you hadn’t really done this before.
Of course, as you discovered, easily within your capabilities.
I don’t test the DVD yet, but zyyper dup(1490packages) from M5 works almost fine.
After upgrade boot hangs, then I boot in failsafe mode and reconfigure network, then I launch zypper update and install 147 more packages.
Reboot and all works!!! 
I had some issues with gedit, but I’m happy with this release 
cheers

There are a lot of things I have never done before
But usualy nobody notices that since I look first before I ask, this time I
asked first and then had a look

Well, I updated 12.1 beta from the repos using “zypper dup” and it crashed the system after rebooting! The /dev/ folder now only contains files labeled as “loop0… to loop7” and one folder “/pts”, all of which are 0bits in size. When booting, all looks fine until it tries to read from the /dev/ folder, and with reason the message “Could not find /dev/sda6” is displayed.
Seems this issue is not shared. I was able to start the last good 3? kernel and ran zypper dup again. It installed 100+ updates. Rebooting into the new 12.1 RC1 release was limited to text mode. After making several alterations to permissions, etc. I managed to have the system start from a non-root account using startx from the text mode. The system is sluggish and most likely screwed beyond simple repair. I will format the drive and test a fresh install of today’s release 12.1-RC1 (32bit).

same here; and usually, just by following these forums & the mailing
lists, most of my problems have been solved before they happen to me

If I update the RC1 installation the moment the Public Releas comes out will the RC1 installation be mostly the same as the Public Releas? or reinstallation from the Public Releas is recommended?
I would re-install
But it should be possible to ‘dup’ to 12.1 final
Thanks. But what does ‘dup’ mean?
zypper dup --help
dist-upgrade (dup)
Perform a distribution upgrade.
For future reference on zypper commands, open konsole or xterm and type: zypper dup --help ← always add --help after a command for an explanation.
Another option is to type “man zypper” (without the quotes) for the manual.
