Hi, as promised in the meeting minutes, here's a detailed look at the CD / DVD layout for SUSE Linux 10.1
In the retail box: ====================== 1 DVD9 (double layered) for x86 and x86_64, binary rpms (source rpms are available for download or sent out on request on an extra DVD to comply with the GPL). 5 CDs for i386 containing only OSS packages, plus one CD containing closed source add-on packages. As before, the DVD9 version contains more packages than the CD version. For download: ============= A DVD version in two flavours: - installable DVD5, one each for x86 and x86_64 - LiveDVD for x86 only 5 CDs containing only OSS packages, 1 CD containing closed source add-on packages. FTP tree with binary and source RPMs. The DVD5 contains only packages which are also on the CD version. Packages which are only on the DVD9 are also available in the FTP trees. All non-OSS media and packages will be hosted on novell.com or suse.com, not opensuse.org Naming: ======= The distribution is called "SUSE Linux". The "OSS" string in the download version is no longer used. The distinction between "clean" and "tainted" versions is done with the addon CD. Retail <-> Download: ==================== The retail and download CD sets contain the same packages on the same CDs, but will differ slightly in the selection of packages to install: - The download version will not install non-OSS software by default. We're still working on the details of how the addon CD is handled. - The retail version will install non-OSS software in the default selection. It will be possible to deselect all non-OSS packages with as few clicks as possible (by collecting them in their own selection). CDs needed for standard installation: ===================================== - Minimal install needs CD 1 - Standard install with either KDE or GNOME needs CDs 1-3 - Any non-OSS package needs the addon CD cheers, Sonja -- Sonja Krause-Harder ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
