Downloaded and burnt the KDE version of 11.3 live CD. Laptop IBM T-20.
Pity that the KDE desktop crashed at startup. Not a good start, to say the least.

You don’t need to reinstall from DVD, you can install compared to DVD isntall ‘missing’ packages/pattern via software management.

If you try to install from DVD select “Install” from the boot options.

Thank you very much Beineri.
One more question: how is the workflow to uninstall the LiveCD version in order to install the “real” version?
And about installing: I don’t even understand the beginning of instructions, really:

“Installation in Live Desktop
Place your openSUSE disc in the drive, and reboot your computer. Upon rebooting, you should encounter the boot screen.”

So I should reboot from the DVD, OK. Unfortunately I cannot paste the screenshot, but:

“Choose openSUSE 11.0 and wait for the openSUSE 11.0 desktop to load.”

but, according to the screenshot pasted inmmediatly before this sentence, options are:

- Boot from HArd Disk
- INstallations
- Repair installed system
- Rescue system
- Firmware test
- Memory test

instead od openSUSE 11.0. Then it goes on:

”

This is a fully-functional openSUSE desktop. Feel free to explore the desktop, and when you’re ready to install, double-click the Live Install icon. This will start YaST, the openSUSE installation and configuration program. ”

..and so on. This is what I found at SUSE’s site. Do you know where to find a clearer explanation?

Thanks again!

Yes.

What about using Live CDs to find out if a program is “compatible” with that version in particular? Is it possible to install packages and LInux based programs running on the Live CD to achieve this?

Thanks everyone!

and i’m disapointed. sound system crashes with strange error. Imposible to launch even sound system configuration. Imposible to launch. I never had such problems with Ubuntu/Kubuntu live cd’s. Thoght its problem only with live cd, but after installation same problems. I’m using Dell D620. It seems that choise of Kubuntu was the best
