SUSE 5143 Published by

SUSE Linux 10.1 RC1 has been released. Here the full announcement:



I'm glad to announce SUSE Linux 10.1 Codename "Agama Lizard" RC1.

We've created on
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/install/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-RC1-Extra
(and on the mirrors of it) a repository with some non-OSS software.
The same software is also available via two non-OSS CDs that can be
used during installation as Add-On Media. There's one media for both
i386 and x86-64 (SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC1-Addon-BiArch) and one for
PowerPC (SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC1-Addon-ppc).

Please read the complete list of Known Issues at:
http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs

We will make sometime next week an RC2 - and only distribute the delta
ISOs of any RCs, and update the factory tree as well.

Have a lot of fun!
Andreas

Known issues:
Large scale testing showed a couple of issues especially with update
of systems. I would advise everybody to be carefull in updating a
system - and not update a production system. :-(

* Updating from a previous beta tries to delete far too many packages
[165798]. You should see conflicts for this in the installation
proposal.

* Every update adds another selection to the system [160792].

* Installationsources are not available in the system [165825].

* The YaST2 Xen module is not able to setup a VM [Bugs are filed right now].

We're working on these and other issues for RC2.

Note that patches might not work - the patch repositories contain
patches for older products. We're generating new ones now,
