IMHO,the moment Novell got sold, Suse was doomed. They have a Beta for the new version, but it is closed. If they were alive, the beta should be public. I wonder if somebody has access to the ISO files for SLES 12 beta. Philip On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 12:34 PM, Michael H. Warfield wrote: > On Tue,

The current SUSE 11 SP3 templates are useless. The on-line repository is corrupt and since Novell sold the company, there is no maintenance. I had to install the container from the ISO files. I think SLES is an abandoned distribution. Fortunately, OpenSUSE seems vibrant. I have a single client that

Well, I just found real business case where your theory falls flat. In a Suse Enterprise container, the only way to allow the owner of the container to install new packages, is to mount permanently the original ISO and the original SDK iso, otherwise zypper would not work. The updates come from the

Dear Friends I succesfully created a SLES 11 SP3 container, but when I try to do this mount -o loop /images/SLE-11-SP3-SDK-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso /media mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.) My
