&gt; Bear with me, as I'm not used to the SuSE way of doing things (anymore) -
&gt;
&gt; Did you have to download and burn ISOs to CD-R?  Is there a way to boot
&gt; to just one CD and then do the rest from a local NFS/SMB/FTP server or
&gt; from an Internet source?
&gt;
&gt; I've got my wife's laptop running on Gentoo but things like CDs, Wifi,
&gt; USB, etc. are not managed well (yes, it's because I haven't explicitly
&gt; *set them up* to be managed well - an acknowledged Gentoo bugaboo) and I
&gt; wouldn't mind setting her up with a different distro.

&gt; &gt;Having re-sized my WinNT partition dramatically (40-&gt;10Gby), I decided to
&gt; &gt;try Linux installation. I installed SuSe-9.3 from a downloaded CD set ...
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Results were even better than I hoped.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;1) No problem setting up my partitions, including 8GBy as Fat32 for mutual
&gt; &gt;WinXP and Linux use.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;2) No problem identifying the peripherals in my Fry's house-brand laptop.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;3) X11 delivers a _better_ display than WinXP on the same machine.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;4) SuSe and 'linmodem' correctly identified the low-rent, AC'97 codec-based
&gt; &gt;~modem, configured it without complaint, and seem to manage it perfectly!! I
&gt; &gt;expected to fight with this, and only gave myself 50-50 odds of _ever_
&gt; &gt;having it work from Linux!
&gt; &gt;    YIPPEE!
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;5) Dual WinXP/Linux boot setup through GRUB dropped in and works fine.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;6) When the partitioning and installation were done I re-tried
&gt; &gt;SystemRescueCD and it worked fine. (What's life without the occasional
&gt; &gt;mystery, if it comes out OK at the end?)
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;It's my first SuSe installation; I doubt it will be my last. So far, I'm
&gt; &gt;_definitely_ a happy camper!

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.&quot;
