Second RC for openSUSE 12.3 brings bigger-than-CD live images (The H)

The H
takes
a look at openSUSE 12.3 rc 2. A final release will be available next
week. "
For openSUSE 12.3 RC2, the boot process on
Secure-Boot-enabled systems includes a step where users will have to
manually enable Secure Boot support in YaST. The developers are working to
remove this additional step for the final release. The developers have also
changed the size of the live media: it now exceeds the 800MB CD size limit,
meaning that it will have to be booted from USB sticks instead of CDs. This
allows openSUSE 12.3 RC2 to ship with a larger number of tools in the live
images, including the GIMP, the entirety of LibreOffice 3.6 and the full
OpenJDK environment. As part of the changes, Rhythmbox has replaced Banshee
as the default audio player in the GNOME based live images."
