Downloaded the 64 bit suse 10.3 beta1 via torrent. After 3 days of
downloading, I can burn the dvd, md5 checks OK, but, machine will not
boot from it. Burned another, same thing. I can read the files on the
disk, just not boot from it. Is this a bug or is there something special
with this dvd.

I've seen some bugs similar to yours coming in bugzilla. Something
looks rather fishy on 64-bit x86-64 with linuxrc (I expect you do not
see the YaST Language selection at all).

Nope, I downloaded Beta1 64-bit DVD x86-64 just yesterday, it checks out
fine in the media check and I can boot from it without problem (had to
change the device order, though).

I can change the language to German and the installation is started in
German as well. The real show-stopper comes when I choose to update an
already installed Opensuse 10.2 x86-64 as base for the installation.

During the dependendy check of the installed rpms it shows 27 packages
that can not be updated. So far no problem. Unfortunately when I choose to
delete the not-updatable packages, the system freezes solid. Not on the
first package, but somewhere in the middle. Tried it twice now, once from
top of list and second time from bottom of list. Last package I choose to
delete was libgcj41-32bit. The only thing moving after that was the mouse
cursor.

It was just like working with Windows. (^-^)

Since no Installation on harddisk happened yet, I can't provide you with
any log. :-(
