Comments/Problems:
<Dead easy. I haven't done a Windows install for a little while, but
this was MUCH easier. Took all of 45 minutes, I just let it get on with
it and it restarted easily with X, Gnome, etc, and all my hardware -
NVidia graphics [a problem with previous SuSE installs], USB mouse, HP
Laserjet, etc all working. The highest praise I can give is that it is a
JFDI program (Just F****** Does It). Brilliant.>
