Except for loading the kernel modules for the NIC, I believe anyone who can 
read can install Suse. It has come that far. It is easier to install than 
Windows or RedHat, you don't even have to change the CD.\

I was having some weird hardware problem where the install could not connect 
to the hard drive. It would time out or say no hard drive present. When I 
just let the box boot - it could boot from the hard drive.

Well, I just put the hard drive in another box, installed it, walked it across 
the room and it worked perfectly. Yast picked up the slight differences in 
the hardware, prompted me and auto configured everything. 
Likewise, the box I am sitting in front of now was installed on the box that 
had the problem last night.

I understand that it is pulling me away from the command line. It is sooo easy 
to install (I do installs litterally in my sleep) that usually the quickest 
solution if anything major goes wrong is "re-install."
