Default Re: Opensuse 11 on a Netbook...anybody?

Hi all! I fortunately did it. After all, it mostly ran out of the box. I bought "the one" with 120G Hitachi an redmond-os on it, the shop had no others left. Started that os once. Copied the installer (openSUSE11_0_LOCAL.exe) via usb-stick on it and it ran! First came a lan-config, then a nifty net-installation (put main repository in the fields), Partition everything, even the restore-stuff, merge into one partition, run install, do something useful..

If there's nothing on it you can also do a complete net-install via bootable usb-stick.

Post install: Upgrade, add smart package manager, add repositories, add wifi (a bit tricky.. say: madwifi), fan silencer-script.. Hope that will be automated/integrated one day. Netbooks are the thing to come.

I purchased in about one week ago, it runs silent and smooth. More later..
