SUSE 5009 Published by

openSUSE 10.2 RC1 has been released:

I'm glad to announce Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of openSUSE 10.2 codename Basilisk Lizard. It contains a large number of enhancements and updates done by the open source community and Novell's development teams.

See http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News - and the ChangeLog file on the first media of each set for a detailed overview of changes.



We have created again Delta ISOs from the DVD and CDs of Beta. Please use them for download and use bittorrent.

Please report all bugs you find on in our bugzilla as explained in http://bugs.opensuse.org, discussion is most appropriate on the opensuse-factory@xxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.

The next release will be in two weeks our final version, we're now concentrating on fixing shipment blockers.

openSUSE 10.2 RC1 comes in different medias:
* 5 CDs, you need CDs 1-3 for a normal installation with just GNOME or KDE (any language) [currently you need CD4 for a KDE install for non-english installs, this will be fixed for the final version]
* 1 AddOn CD with only non-OSS (binary) packages on it
* 1 AddOn CD with language packages that are used for our tier 2 languages (tier 1 languages are english, french, italian, spanish, brasilian portugese, german, chinese, japanese and czech - and support for those is on the standard 5 CDs) (the 5 CDs have support for installation in all translated languages, just extra packages are only on this extra media)
* 1 DVD containing the contents of the above 5 CDs and the non-oss CD.
* a FTP tree with open source packages (only for the final version, for now use the factory tree)
* a FTP tree with binary packages (only for the final version, for now use the factory-extra tree)

Thanks to everybody making this release happen - and thanks to all testing it!

Andreas
