Hi everyone
A few days back, Novell released the latest version of OpenSuSE, version 11.0. I started downloading the distro as soon as it was officially released, and completed the download the day before yesterday. I first installed it with KDE 4, and like before, it sucks big time. I guess itś a matter of choice, but I still prefer KDE 3.5.x. Gnome is pretty well done this time and is very slick and fast.
Anyway, as I did with OpenSuSE 10.3, I have made an archive of some multimedia applications with their dependencies whcih can be used on PCs not connected to the internet or for mass installation. This has been tested on KDE4, KDE 3.5 and GNOME.
Packages:
kchmviewer
mplayer, mplayer plugin
audacious
k3b, k3b-codecs
sox
devede
audacity
avidemux
ffmpeg
transcode
ntfs-config
vlc
libdvdcss
w32codecs
Download the archive June2008 from here
Mirror 1: Mediafire
Mirror 2: FTP Download
An optional archive is this i686.zip that contains extra packages for i686 architecture. If you are not sure whether you need it or not, better download it too.
Mirror 1: Mediafire
Mirror 2: FTP Download
Extract the archive(s) to a folder called June2008 in your home folder.
Note: KDE4 ark seems to have some issues??? The Extract function of the gui in Ark does not seem to work, at least for me. You can work around this by clicking on the archive to open it in a window, press Ctrl and A on your keyboard to select all the rpms, minimise this window, open your home folder, create the June2008 folder, and paste the contents into it; then it works fine.
Steps:
1. Press Alt and F2 and type the following
if you are a KDE user

if you are a GNOME user

and press ENTER
2. Key in your root password and press ENTER
