I was hoping to try out OpenSUSE, and it clearly states on their website:

"When delivered as 1 CD, openSUSE requires one download of approximately 700 MB."

However, I can only find the 4.7GB version to download. Can anyone tell me if it is necessary to download this humongous file, and if not, where I might obtain the smaller one?

Thanks in advance.

The 4.7 GB version is the ISO file for the DVD version of the software, and contains both 32-bit, 64-bit, Gnome and KDE versions.



Go to http://software.opensuse.org/113/en and choose either Live Gnome or Live KDE version, which are both smaller downloads.
