Hi,
I have not yet seen any SLED11 ‘restricted format’ but its early days.
The HP 625 laptop only arrived Tuesday morning (48 hours ago).

By default the machine set up with GDM and Gnome. I used Yast to
install KDM and KDE 4.2 from Novell and deleted much of Gnome. With
updates the total download
was 3.2 GBs. On each update to a new install of a KDE package a warning
was given that the software was not covered or a new license required.
(Looks as
though I invalidated the license as soon a Yast was entered although
updating from Novell repos.)

Dolphin and Konqueror have no problems reading DVD’s and Audio CDs.

To get Kaffeine to work, I added updates from Packman for openSUSE
11.1, libdvdcss from VLC manually and xine-lib 1.1.19 from xine-project
manually.
For Automounting I used the info from jdmcdaniel3’s thread ‘Multimedia
Optical Drive Naming (ie /dev/dvd & /dev/cdrom) Howto in opneSUSE’ on
this forum.

Hi
SLED 11 is on pcc-services, however if/when you upgrade to SP1 then
packman have a SLED 11 SP1 repository.

That’s good news for SLED users and makes the addition of multimedia support a lot easier.
