Posted on: 04/13/2006 08:04 PM
SUSE Linux 10.1 RC1 has been released. Here the full announcement:
I'm glad to announce SUSE Linux 10.1 Codename "Agama Lizard" RC1.
We've created on ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/install/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-RC1-Extra (and on the mirrors of it) a repository with some non-OSS software. The same software is also available via two non-OSS CDs that can be used during installation as Add-On Media. There's one media for both i386 and x86-64 (SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC1-Addon-BiArch) and one for PowerPC (SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC1-Addon-ppc).
We will make sometime next week an RC2 - and only distribute the delta ISOs of any RCs, and update the factory tree as well.
Have a lot of fun! Andreas
PS: Here're all the details for downloading:
SUSE Linux 10.1 is offered via bittorrent and via normal download. Please use a mirror or the download.opensuse.org URL which directs you to a mirror.
The distribution comes with 5 CDs. You need: * CD1 only for a minimal text installation (English) * CDs 1-3 for a default KDE or GNOME installation in German or English * All CDs for other selections
Known issues: Large scale testing showed a couple of issues especially with update of systems. I would advise everybody to be carefull in updating a system - and not update a production system. :-(
* Updating from a previous beta tries to delete far too many packages [165798]. You should see conflicts for this in the installation proposal.
* Every update adds another selection to the system [160792].
* Installationsources are not available in the system [165825].
* The YaST2 Xen module is not able to setup a VM [Bugs are filed right now].
We're working on these and other issues for RC2.
Note that patches might not work - the patch repositories contain patches for older products. We're generating new ones now,
