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.>
