Obtaining openSUSE Tumbleweed: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:46, 26 June 2019

openSUSE Tumbleweed is available from the following locations:

https://www.opensuse.org/, click Tumbleweed and choose what flavour you would like to download.
- 4.7GB DVD installation - this is the most common download option and needed for conventional installations. Allows installation of the whole distribution without the need for a network connection.
- Live-CD - useful for testing the distribution before installing.
- Network installation - installs the system from an internet repository or network repository. Only use with hard-wired Ethernet machines - wireless cards can be very hard to set up if at all possible.
- Rescue disc - Similar to a Live-CD, allows you to boot the system for recovery and includes some basic tools. Be warned, you will need to work on the recovery yourself, this won't just fix it for you but allow a bootable system to start recovery.
These downloads are in the ISO format. These need burning to a CD/DVD or writing to a USB stick. The ISO image itself needs burning, not the ISO file. For more information, see Burning a CD/DVD image.
These will not be kept on the Build Samba share as the images change regularly. Always download a fresh copy of openSUSE Tumbleweed before burning!

These releases are not available via torrent due to the constantly changing nature of these releases. As such, they are only available for direct download. A highly recommended mirror if downloading from the UK is the UK Mirror Service in Kent. openSUSE Tumbleweed releases can be found here.
