 Thanks very much, Ken. I wouldn't have thought to find the md5sum for the iso

 doesn't match the iso of my downloaded file, so I guess the transfer was 
 garbled somehow.

Maybe trying is better than guessing. Burn it, boot it, check it out. Or
are you that short on recordables?

I never had any problem with the integrity of torrent downloads.
Checksumming is kind of a basic principle of torrent downloading, isn't it?

Hi!

No replies on my smart / rpm pubkey post? Am I completely off the right
track?

Just curious:

Hi!

I completely agree with Kenneth. I just had the pleasure to fix my
colleague's fresh from the DVD SuSE 10.1 install.

- From my impression, SuSE 10.1 is really just broken when freshly
installed, and that fact should be clearly stated on the website at a
prominent place together with the fix-up procedure, just as proposed by
Kenneth.

When I started searching on hints on the opensuse Website, I got the
impression that everything's ok. In other words it was very hard to
get hints on how to bootstrap SuSE 10.1 into a working state. I'd have
appreciated his remarks very much.

Don't get me wrong, I really like openSUSE and will keep on using this
distribution. (I am still on 10.0 aka paradise ;-), so I was not
familiar with the 10.1 problems yet...)

Kenneth's statement makes 10.1 better than it was before.

Regards,

Tilman

Re: [opensuse] Sources, revisited

Just my vote (not that it weighs anything, but...):

The standard behaviour in a mailing list is discussion, i.e. replying in
a way so that everybody can participate, not to fork off 1-to-1
communication.

To achieve this, one needs to make sure, that (at least one copy of) the
reply is sent to the mailing list, and here the traditional method has
two structural and big disadvantages over the reply-to method:

1) Replying per default (ok, depends on MUA) creates a fork off into
1-to-1 communication.

2) Replying to the list (via Reply to all) without special user
intervention will _always_ send off two copies of the reply. The use of
the copy to the individual predecessor in the thread is at least
questionable from my perspective. And it tends to annoy people!

Because to me the advantage of the traditional method has not been
made plausible, I don't understand the decision.

Either you want to discuss something on the list, so you join and post.
Or you just don't do it. The only advantage of the traditional method,
I heard of yet, was making it easy to answer to outsiders asking
questions to the list. That's a rare circumstance in my experience!

So my vote is for the reply-to method.

Ok, I am using Mozilla Thunderbird Version 1.5.0.5 (20060725). Could you
please elaborate on how I can get around the following procedure in
order to get decent replying behaviour?

1) Click reply all
2) Remove To: Bernhard Walle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3) Change CC: opensuse@opensuse.org to To: opensuse@opensuse.org

With the Reply-To method, I just click on reply and everything works
as desired.

Thanks for the hints, I'll look at it. Good to know also for all the
other lists who drive on the wrong side of the road ;-)

On the other hand: What's the main advantage of _not_ having Reply-To?
Never understood it...

With it, I guess, every MUA would do, without, now I need to install an
extension for Thunderbird and do i-dont-know-what for other MUAs...

 You can reply to the poster without manually edit the receiver.

As a Thunderbird user I can only say: Click on the From line, choose
compose to, you're done. No extension required. Personal opinion: MUAs
that don't offer such functionality are b0rken.

Ok, I'll shut up now.

Cheers,
