PromoDVD 11.1

From openSUSE

This page is about the openSUSE 11.1 PromoDVD. For older versions please check this page.

What is it?

The openSUSE Promo DVD is a special 32-bit edition used as giveaway on fairs or as covermount on magazines. It includes GNOME and KDE4 live systems but also an installation part.

Where can I get it?

It is only available as DVD, not for download. You can get it at fairs or with a magazine. Head over to our PromoDVD order page and enter your request there. The old order process, sending mails, is now obsolete. Everything you need to know is explained on that page.

What is the difference to the Live DVD I can download?

There are fewer languages on it, due to space limitations.

Is the installation the same as the DVD/CD I can download?

No, due to space limitations we have only a subset of languages and packages included. The packages include a basic desktop system with GNOME/KDE, OpenOffice.org, Realplayer, Flash and everything else you need for a desktop system. Most development tools are not on the PromoDVD, but you have everything you need to compile a Kernel with it.

What languages are included

English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese (traditional and simplified), Brazilian Portuguese, Polish

Is it limited in any way?

No, beside the language and package selection it's not limited. As with all free versions there is no support included. Security updates will be provided for 2 years after the main version got released.

Where can I get more packages for it?

The installation Source for the full version will be added automatically when you register during the second part of the installation. With an Internet connection you can simply install other packages with YaST2.
