The boot floppies are excellent for what they intend to do. They
try to provide maximum flexibility, and then to be as friendly as
possible. Perhaps a clueless-proof install should be on a separate disk.
I won't say anymore, because I have not installed RH ors SuSE recently, and
have no concrete suggestions.
Also, in retrospect, I should have realized that picking the scientific
workstation option could cause problems . That was over 500 packages . This
is a severe test for any OS.
