<div>openSuse 10.2 never made the internet connection during installation for me. I also had problems with printing, I have an old HP 720c. The update didn't work well on 10.2 either. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have now dowloaded 10.3 and they seem to have fixed these problems. I tried to download the BitTorrent and after days still only had 49%. During that time I downloaded the CD via HTTP and got it no problems. I have
10.3 on my laptop and it is working well. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I then stopped the BitTorrent and downloaded the DVD via HTTP and got it in about 3 or 4 hours. I haven't checked it yet but it seems complete. 10.3 looks like a vast improvement over 10.2.<br><br> </div>
