Ironically, the opposite is true. For 8.2 I downloaded and burned 3 boot CDs 
that all failed to boot. I called up Geoffrey (my Suse expert), he went to 
the same place, got the same boot.iso, and burned a successfully booting one.

Quick to seize the opportunity, I begged him to send it to me. I can't thank 
him enough. My whole LAN is installed from that CD. Thank you Geoffrey!


I was able to wreck a Suse install just a moment ago using the Yast2 update 
which did not complete and crashed. When I restarted the box, there was a  
kernel panic and such.  BUT, I took the drive out of my wife's box, threw it 
in here and got everything working right - using just the mouse. IT EVEN 
updated the hostname automatically! (Note: My boxes are similar).
