I'm glad to announce SUSE Linux 10.1 Codename "Agama Lizard" Beta8.

Please read the complete list of Known Issues at:
http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs

For now let me just point out the following issues:

* RPM dump before update:

If you do an update, please create an XML dump of the RPM database
BEFORE starting an update. Details are available via
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs

* The Windows Domain Membership dialog ("Samba authentification"),
when called during installation, is empty.

We've created on
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-Beta8-Extra (and
on the mirrors of it) a repository with some non-OSS software.

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 (on x86 and x86-64, I
haven't tested PPC):
* 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
