An free alternative is to use FIPS [for resizing DOS partitions](A Dos
utility... use a dos boot disk, and READ THE DOCS on it CAREFULLY!)
ftp://ftp.debain.org/pub/debian/tools/fips20.zip
And ext2resize for resizing Linux (ext 2) partitions.
http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net/download.html
If I have just a list of RPMs I want to install, is there any way I can put
that file somewhere and have that be the default loaded RPMs for a base
install?

can download Mixer

Set it

Heh, well, this is ALMOST true :)
Try this:

Look for ide-floppy.o
If that doesn't exist, insmod ide-floppy
Then that'll make your Zip drive /dev/hdx4

Well, generally what I do in deciding the size of /usr/local and /usr/opt
is, how many programs do you plan to install on top of linux? Most
everything you add after distro (Unless a system file) will be installed in
/usr/local/blah.
If you plan to leave it alone, I wouldn't worry about it...
ROTF! Maybe first, you should be asking the Suse Newbie list :P
Okay, well, hmm... basically the differences in these cards (From what I
understand) is how the BIOS on the card is set. It's not full duplex across
these different connections, so the system will use whichever connection you
set

Umm okay.
Well, hrm... how to start.
Basically IMHO the easiest way to do this isn't through a GUI.
Go to a terminal, then change directories to /home/Bob/Netscape/caitoo (Or
whereever it unpacked to).
In there, there should be (probably) an INSTALL file... read it.

Okay, I'm looking for a way to have a fully/mostly graphical boot on my

I'm assuming this is done by using the Framebuffer techniques (Same ones

questions.
1: Is this really what I need? How did Corel do it in
Sure chmod 444 /home/user/.netscape/cookies
