Using factory - need support.

[Klaas.]

Hello,
Well we know now that PowerPC and openSuse is not the
combination that some of us hoped for.

But the way to go is use of the factory, which might be
a good idea if only I knew where to start:
- there is 1 entry in the powerpc/factory/iso,
openSUSE-NET-ppc-Build0009-Media.iso,
that doesnot boot!
- there are more entries in the "regular" factory/iso.
- openSUSE-GNOME-LiveDC-x86_64-Build0336-Media.iso,
booted on a virual machine under VitualBox but
died during prepare for install.
- openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build0011-Media.iso,
didnot boot.

I am trying to get my brain around the factory process
but either I am too dim and should forgat about it or
there is a need for more documentation (I studied a
lot of it)

Please advise.

thank you and greetings,
Klaas Punt

Marcus said that Factory rebuilt recently but that the net boot iso
wasn't rebuilt. They are working on trying to get it working but no
idea on the time frame.

In general, PPC Factory is not for the faint at heart.

I suggest to continue use openSUSE 11.1 PPC for the non-expert user.
