Why does the 10.3 (Beta) Live even require the need for a stupid

It is Beta created on the fly using KIWI.

Rajko, I don't give a rat's arse what was used to create this Beta: KIWI
or DODO or EMU or CHICKEN!
It was about Live CD, that doesn't install at all.
Precisely. So why the need for a password?
And what does it matter if it was "a Beta on the fly created using
KIWI."? :-)
The simple fact is that what I downloaded does not install. I have tried
at least 5 different ways of installing 10.3 Beta 1 with 3 different HD
combinations and file systems (reiserfs vs ext3) and nothing gets
correctly installed.
More about problems would be better, than general "it does not install".
You are long enough around to know how useless is critique without details.
You waste your time writing post, other reading it.
It is Beta software and you are either ready for problems or avoid it.
Yes, I have been using SuSE for some years now and have been in this
forum for quite some time.
This doesn't mean that I am prepared to accept a version of SuSE Beta 1
which will not even install even when I have tried "all the tricks" I
learnt to use to be able to overcome problems.
You know, the most interesting thing about all this is that I - nor my
friend who is also a SuSE enthusiast - did not have troubles with SuSE
until recent times (shortly after Novell took over SuSE to be exact).
Prior to this, I/we had no real problems with installing/running SuSE -
be it Beta of any flavour or final release.
(SuSE is going from bad to worse at each "improvement" "release" since
Novell bought the German company. I downloaded the CD of 10.3 Beta 1
together with the CD of the ADDON-NON OSS Bi-Arch and there is NO way
that I can install all the files/applications: there is no Midnight
Commander, no kernel source, no pico or nano, no kradio, et alia.)
I have Midnight Commander, kernel source, and no nano, as I need only one
text editor and I'm happy with the one in Midnight Commander. You can use
Factory repository to install all missing packages or download DVD.
Some beta bugs are annoying, but, as others mentioned, it is a beta.
I would be most delighted if you could tell me how you managed to
install anything on the ADDON NON OSS cd and to have Midnight Commander
and the kernel source installed.
I used online Factory repository for both.
OK, what is the URL for this, please, Rajko?
I got to check current kernel version, before source download, as Factory is
moving target, but short before and after any release it is frozen. So it is
(was) possible to have all you want from there. Though with Beta it was
interesting as zypper.db was corrupt. It is known bug and there is a
workaround.
I would also be *ECSTATIC* if you could tell me where you got the DVD
version of Beta 1 of 10.3 containing ALL the software needed to install
the full version of Beta 1 of v10.3.
The full version is the FTP one, but DVD's are available using bittorrent:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/iso/torrent/
You can choose binaries and/or sources.
For kernel sources you don't need DVD marked with SOURCES, as they are
included on main DVD.
Eh, I cannot use, nor have access to, bittorrent.
I can use, and did use, the FTP download of the CDs - which will not
install correctly. Which means that I cannot install mc nor the kernel
source nor any of the other bits which I normally install.
Cheers.
