I have used SuSE for years, and your findings seem really unfortunate. Most stuff "just
works" ...

But, they have their glitches, like everyone else ...

I have seen some glitches with their X Server setup in much earlier releases, though - that
was a persistent pain up to 7.3 ... the solution was, run their SaX2 (not YaST2) by hand, and
it will work.

I also remember having trouble with the sound configuration time and again, years ago; I
considered it a minor glitch, and it was easily fixed (well those were the days of the OSS
drivers, too; whatever you say against them, they were easy enough to handle ..)

Both these are long past for me, but I was always confused why they were issues at all ...

And, they probably _are_ a KDE-oriented distribution, I am not sure many people use SUSE
with Gnome, maybe you are a corner case here, too?

That your disks would not be configured correctly .... that seems wild. It also sounds like a
case where their installation support would have to answer for once, did you try and contact
them?

good luck

V.
