[sle-beta] SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 1 GMC3!

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

I know one can manually request a beta code, it is just more work (for me and you - it would have been easier You could for example add the product subscription to all partner or beta customers by default)

Since I only wanted to check if my installation description (for setting up a database) is still valid I was going with a non-Subscription package install like it worked well before. I don’t work with SLES on a daily base so all these strange conventions just make it harder - it might not be a problem for people running it. But then again, I can imagine with a cumbersome developer out of the box experience it does not improve adoption. (You are just spoiled if you can netinstall any open distro)

Gruss
Bernd

Hi,

There is beta registration code for beta test, it’s just not shared by default
but you need to request one:
https://www.suse.com/betaprogram/sle-beta/#faq-reg

And we provide them also for all SUSE Products in beta: SUSE Manager, SUSE
OpenStack Cloud,SUSE CaaS Platform and SUSE Enterprise Storage.

Of course the beta registration code can be used on “one shot installation” but
also with SMT/RMT/SUSE Manager to mirror the Online Channels.

Please let me know why you thought there were no beta regcodes, maybe we could
our messaging to prevent such confusion.

Regards,

Well, first of all there is no registration code for beta tests and secondly I of course did not boot of media, but the VM starts from a image.

Nevertheless it’s nearly unusable this way. (At least I don’t know how to zipper install postgres10-Server from the minimal system with the package dvd)

Gruss

Honestly, I'm shocked many people still boot off physical media for
installs these days. With PXE you can do everything off the net.
