WOW...i'm sticking that post into my personal How-To (as "Quieten too
busy drives.")
maybe you would consider entering it into the SUSE gallery of How Tos
via
http://forums.opensuse.org/how-faq-r...iewed-how-faq/
(or nntp to opensuse.org.help.howto.submissions)
and, personally i think with the ongoing 'greening' of SUSE (and move
to conserve/extend laptop battery life) you ought to grab the
attention of some of the SUSE hackers and see if there might not
should be a "laptop install" option which would auto-incorporate your
partitioning and ext2 vs 3 scheme, logging changes, etc etc etc...
ymmv.
