The SUSE Team have remastered the SUSE Linux 10.1 ISO images

If you downloaded the ISOs before the 13th of October the ITS Feda Helpdesk staff heartily recommend that you read and act on this.

This new release combines the 10.1 GM and all online updates released for 10.1 so far (until Oct, 9), including libzypp, which should make the installing and working experience much smoother for everyone.
[NB: Do the following only if you have downloaded the ISOs before Oct, 13]
The DVD versions of SUSE Linux contain some proprietary components such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, RealNetworks RealPlayer, Sun Java Runtime Environment, Macromedia Flash Player etc. The CD version of SUSE Linux contains only open source components. If needed CD6 (Addon CD) can be downloaded which provides some proprietary components as on the DVD versions.
You can download the first CD for minimal installation, the first three for standard German and English KDE or GNOME installation, the five CDs for other languages and extra software, or the six CDs or the DVD.
