It seems to me that he's explained why he asks for the Beta1 install. The CDs are set milestones which he tests. I don't think he's saying you can't do an FTP install, but he wants it done on a milestone release. I don't know why he wants it done on a milestone release rather than factory, other than maybe RPM versions will be consistent. With Beta1 being released this week, I don't think Stefan is out of line for asking you test with that. > understand that even after 10.2 is released that FTP installs will need to > succeed?

Why has this bug been open so long? Don't we all wish we had unlimited hardware resources? I do, at least. I think that's one of the reasons the opensuse development model exists -- People like yourself have hardware the SUSE labs may not have, and thus more problems can be identified & addressed. My guess is that Stefan (and the other SUSE developers) all have several issues that they're trying to address, some more critical than others. We don't see their queue of issues they need to get addressed each day. I commend them for accomplishing all that they do. - Chad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
