packages on CD missing on DVD
Last modified: 2005-10-14 00:29:44 UTC
In various places (mailing lists, download area) for 10.0 box it is said that all packages of CD 1 to 5 are contained on the installation DVD. This is not true, the following packages are on the 5 CDs and are missing on the DVD: --- - 2005-10-13 20:12:32.611344000 +1300 +++ dvd/SuSE-10.0/Sizes 2005-10-13 17:47:41.000000000 +1300 -aspell-ca 0.50.2 195 i586 5635957 -aspell-cy 0.50.3 21 i586 6491864 -aspell-hr 0.51.0 7 i586 6911842 -dicts 1.5 247 i586 75863204 -kde3-i18n-ca 3.4.2 5 noarch 10268369 -kde3-i18n-cy 3.4.2 5 noarch 3012376 -kde3-i18n-et 3.4.2 5 noarch 19052976 -kde3-i18n-ta 3.4.2 5 noarch 9393411 -OpenOffice_org-et 1.9.125 5 i586 30798389 -yast2-trans-cy 2.11.1 4 noarch 187866 It's a pity because there would have been space on the DVD. May I suggest that you install some automated checking for the CDs and DVD contents to check for this in the future?
Rudi: could you please comment on that?
yes, some packages are missing on the DVD. no, there would not have been space on the DVD. DVD9: 8531703808 DVD9-max-size: 8539996160 leaves roughly 7.9 Mb. yes, the missing "yast2-trans-cy" is a real bug, the rest is intentional.
Oh sorry, I thought the capacity of a DL-DVD was 2x 4.7^6 bytes. Guess that is why it's called a "8.5G"...
well, it took a long time and many questions to get exact numbers. what I have right now says for a DVD9 (aka. dual-layer-DVD): 8539996160 bytes (2084960 sectory of 2048 bytes on 2 layers)
