The CDs downloaded from the SuSE site do not contain mc or the kernel
source or nano (pico IS there) - which is not what was the situation in

I cannot do without mc (the file manager of my choice),and the kernel
source is ESSENTIAL to be able to install the nVidia driver.
The mc is for me essential tool too, and that is the reason why I configured
Factory repositories. It is not big deal as they are already included, just
enable them. I can't expect that every package that I like can find place on
CD.
I expect, as anyone else trying out OpenSuSe (10.3 beta1 as an example),
to download what has been officially stated as being available for
download as SuSE vx.x betax to be installable and workable.
Because YOU know about "Factory repositories" doesn't mean that anyone
else should know about them, and use this knowledge to make get things
working.
What ARE "Factory repositories" and where are they mentioned, or
'instructions' given to be able to access them when installing, say,
the beta of 10.3?
If additional, specialised, knowledge is required to "make things work"
then they should be specifically mentioned at the time of release.
Some beta bugs are annoying, but, as others mentioned, it is a beta.
Previous betas did not have these problems. So why now?
Well, how long it takes to accept that openSUSE is changing to give single CD
installation with usable desktop for new users. Ubuntu/Kubuntu has no mc
either and not many feel that as defect.
Eh, Rajko, I don't give a tinkers' cuss about what Ubuntu/Kubuntu, or
whatever, have or have not :-) .
I care about SuSE, what it always had in the past, and the way it is
being denigrated a step at a time in recent times :-( .
BTW, The console and mc are tools used by experienced users that should not
have trouble to download one more package.
Ce?
Why should I, or anyone, need to download them as "one more package"
(from where? the Factory repository which is not mentioned?) when it was
always there to be installed on the CD/DVD downloadable as a SuSE
alpha/beta/release?
Cheers.
