I do not know anyone that is able to use the repair system. I am talking about aprox... 200 users. This to me is a major pita. I really think that we should get a delta. I really need to create new iso's. I am getting pestered because of the repair system. > I know publishing an new set of *.iso files with some of the fixes would > inconvenience a few people at openSuSE.org and do nothing for SuSE's > reputation.

This is the general opion I am seeing. I could not upgrade/install 6 systems with the download DVD. They install/upgrade fine with the 10.2, but 10.3 is really boarked. I do have 2 out of 10 system running 10.3. -- Boyd Gerber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
