In configure desktop the screensaver keeps crashing. Can't change the 4
minute annoying screensaver from kicking in.

For the first time I did "zypper dup" with RC1 x64 Gnome and there were
around 11xx hundred packages that d/l and installed and it took about a
hour or so [3Mb DSL] but everything installed as it should and is working
well now.

I wish they would add the Nvidia/ATI repo's sooner so we could try out
the Nvidia proprietary driver and Compiz effects. Does OpenSuse always
wait for final to add proprietary video driver repositories?

I decided to use Ubuntu 9.10 instead. It's fast and works great.

OK thanks, that's all I'm needing now :-)

After a kernel upgrade on my openSUSE 11.1 32-bit Gnome desktop system
killed my computer Saturday night, I decided to install from the
openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 RC2 Gnome live cd and am very happy with it so far.

I'm not exactly sure what happened, but after the kernel upgrade I
shutdown the pc. The next day when I booted up the only option I had was
boot from a floppy. So much for waiting until the EOL of 11.1 as I had
planned.
