SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta 4 is now finally available on the first mirrors

SUSE Linux features an easy-to-install Linux operating system that lets you browse the Web, send e-mail, chat with friends, organize digital photos, play movies and songs, and create documents and spreadsheets. You can even use it to host a Web site or blog, create a home network, and develop your own applications. It is the most recent stabilized, fully integrated edition of SUSE Linux. If you are looking for a stable version of Linux to run on your personal computer or home server, this is the best choice.




Beta4 has a number of ROUGH edges, so read the following before you decide to download and test it.

Beta4 is really for the adventureous experts and not for anybody without a good Linux experience:

* The CD 1 needs to remain in the cd drive after installing from it. Do not remove it during the reboot and wait for YaST to request CD 2.

Otherwise the installation of packages from CD 2-5 will fail afterwards.

* Due to the integration of the new package manager which is not complete, note the following non working pieces:

o Only a fresh installation is supported. Update from a previous installation is not working!

o ncurses installation is not supported right now

o Some statistics do not work, e.g. you see "Size of packages to install: 0" - or "Number of packages to install: 0", or "Software: Default system (0)".

o The graphical package manager frontend has only a limited list of "views", currently you get a list of all the packages and can only search in them.

o Only adding of selections works. If you want to remove a selection, remove all packages in that selection and run the resolver manually with the "Check" button.

o Language dependend packages are not handled correctly. This results in the installation of one package-$lang package but not necessarily the one for the languages asked for.

o It is not possible to abort installation while installing packages.

o Network Installations: smb/cifs does not work, http, nfs and ftp should work.

* The partitioning proposal looks broken in some cases.

* There are no Release Notes shown - and the download of them fails.

Summing up: The installer is in a rather bad shape, only INSTALLATION is supported. The rest of the system should be stable.

We renamed also the directories and filenames to remove the "OSS" from the names to make it clear that there's only one SUSE Linux.
