Deliberately crippled.

"Unfortunately, the image was corrupt, so I downloaded it a second time.... But the second download was bad, too."

This is due to openSUSE.org deliberately stuffing things up.

They have either given you deliberately incorrect md5 sums, or their images have been tampered with.

I downloaded openSUSE 10.1 and concluded that the disks were deliberately crippled.

The images would randomly stop installing and while they installed, were unbearably slow.

The DVD reader preformed fine with all other software, so I guess that someone deliberately crippled a DVD/CD driver (or ACPI or even the basis SVGA driver).

I never installed openSUSE 10.1 on either of my boxes (same problems, different boxes).

Return to openSUSE 10.2: the best Linux desktop yet?
