General
Text Installation Pattern
The scope of the text installation pattern is very limited. It is not recommended to install this pattern without adding additional software. Add packages from other patterns. The purpose of this pattern is to have a minimal bootable system running on real hardware. It provides a multiuser system with local login, network setup, and the default filesystems. No service is enabled by default and the only YaST modules installed that are those needed during installation.
Adding Extra Software Repositories During Installation
After setting up the update configuration at the end of the installation, YaST offers to add the following three software repositories as additional installation sources:
The "oss" repository contains the complete FTP distribution including more packages than are available on the CDs.
The "non-oss" repository contains software under a propietary or non-open source license.
The "debug" repository contains debuginfo packages used for debugging programs and libraries and getting backtraces. If an error occurs, this additional information helps you write good bug reports.
The source RPMs for "oss" are available at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/src-oss, the source RPMs for "non-oss" are available at http://download.opensuse.org/distrib....3/src-non-oss.
Localization Support
The 1-CD installation media (GNOME or KDE) come with language support for American English only.
Support for all the other languages is available separately. If you are interested in additional languages, add an extra online repository during installation offering these translations. The "oss" repository, as mentioned above in Section "Adding Extra Software Repositories During Installation", is such a repository.
YaST Software Management Gtk and Qt Front-Ends
By default, the new YaST gtk front-end runs on the GNOME desktop, and the YaST qt front-end on all the other desktops. Feature-wise, the gtk frontend is very similar to the qt front-end described in the manuals.
One exception is the gtk software management module (see the Start-Up guide in Chapter 3), which differs considerably from the qt port. To start the qt flavor on the GNOME desktop, proceed as follows:
Open the /etc/sysconfig/yast2 file as root.
Change WANTED_GUI="auto" to WANTED_GUI="qt", save and exit the file.
To start the gtk flavor of YaST, no matter on which desktop, proceed accordingly, but changing WANTED_GUI="auto" to WANTED_GUI="gtk".
AppArmor 2.1
Find more detailed information about new features at http://en.opensuse.org/AppArmor/Changes_AppArmor_2_1.
The syntax now distinguishes directories from files. There are additional minor syntax bug fixes.
The reporting of change_hat related events and information has changed. The log messages and profile state (as available via /proc/
A new change_profile policy specification has been added. Change_profile is similar to change_hat, but allows changing to any profile (including hats), not just hats. The restriction is that the profiles that can be changed to must be specified. To change to a hat via change_profile instead of change_hat the hat name is specified by separating the profile and hat_name with // .
GAIM Renamed to Pidgin
The GAIM instant messenger has been renamed to Pidgin.
Update
New Location for KDE and GNOME
GNOME 2 is installed under the /usr file system hierarchy since openSUSE 10.3 and KDE 4 now follows. KDE 3 will stay in /opt for compatibility reasons.
Before starting the update, make sure that there is enough disk space under /usr (approx. 2.5GB for both the desktops is required). If you are short on space under /usr, resize or rearrange your partitions.
Technical
libata for IDE Devices
libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead of /dev/hda. Disks with more than 15 partitions are not handled automatically right now. You can disable libata support by booting with the following kernel parameter:
