No, I'm pretty sure that, at least, RC2 has been tested by the openSUSE community. Some of e-mails here on the mailing-list have RC2 in their subject. > Are you sure you can run such a thing when only the install system from > the DVD is running?

Misunderstanding: I thought you were mentioning adding extra-sources after your network is configured and tested. Anyway, if you boot from CD or DVD you should not get any network-related option in "New Add-On Configuration" dialog (or how is it called) such as SLP, HTTP, FTP etc. But if you still want to have network configured during the first-stage installation (int-sys), use a Linuxrc parameter "DHCP=1" at the boot-screen menu ... or you can set a static address using "HostIP=192.168.1.100 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.1.1 Nameserver=192.168.1.2 DHCP=0 UseDHCP=0 Domain=your.domain" Of course :) with your own settings... You can consult these (or other) Linuxrc parameters with this document: http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc Have a nice day Lukas
