Wow, that looks just ever so much better than 10.1!!
Cool photo when booting the DVD.
The package selection and the use of colour is really good.
The "evaluation" bit when configuring the installation is superbly fast
now.
Minor:
When clicking on "more info" to find out exactly what information will
be transmitted to Novell for update-source configuration, the first
message is "contacting server". A bit of a laugh, but not a good idea
for boosting confidence in privacy.
Details of the files sent can be verified, perhaps some words up front
to reassure a new user would help, though most windows users I know
would immediately still be suspicious of something that doesn't do its
dirty work in secret.
During package selection (as part of initial install) I de-selected
zmd, zen-updater, and whatever the third one is in the same group. They
still got installed and used though. Is this intentional? Did I do
something wrong, is this a bug, or not yet implemented?
Through work I had a lot to do with Debian recently, and there, multiple
repository configuration is easy, dependency resolution a matter of
seconds - beats the living daylights out of zmd. Sorry, but has to be
said.
No inst-sources are online yet, so can't test the yast tool(s) for
sources config and repo handling.
Right here has been my problem since Alpha, YaST complains it can't
mount my DVD when it comes to installing or upgrading. I've filed a new
bug #220206.
Major:
Installation went smooth as, except for grub installation, which is as
critically broken as it is in 10.1. Yast proposes /etc/grub.conf which
grub --batch </etc/grub.conf barfs on (at least yast gives the option of
retry!), and in some cases the generated /etc/grub.conf is syntactically
incorrect (uses "/dev/md", omitting the digit). Will enter bug shortly.
More later,
Volker
I booted from the DVD and selected the Upgrade option which went
smoothly until the kdm login, then the mouse pointer was all over the
place like a fly hit by fly spray. Reinstalling NVidia-9629 cured that.
So just the DVD mounting problem in YaST to be solved.
Regards
Sid.
