The last time I gave this a whirl, I was using an ancient PIII/450MHz machine with less than 200K of RAM. Needless to say, it was a complete dog on that machine and it lasted less than a day. On a whim, decided to try it again today. I'm currently downloading it and will report back after the installation is finished.
Ugh. What a clusterfuck. First round of angst popped up during the assignment of partitions. You have to be extremely careful and go to the hidden advanced properties to ensure the proper partitions are assigned. Don't let it do it or you'll find it trying to assign shit all over the place. Second round of angst came when trying to set up Grub. And it's Grub legacy, not Grub 2. Who the hell uses plain ol' Grub these days? At any rate, it insisted on writing to the MBR on sda, with no option to write to the MBR on sdb. Remove the option to write to sda's MBR and Grub barfs all over itself after the installation is finished. In addition, it didn't see the other Linux installation, but it sure was adamant about including the Windows installation from sda. Once the install was finished, wireless accepted the password and flat refused to fire up. Saw the wireless SSID, but for some reason, wouldn't connect to it. You can tell Novell doesn't handle this any longer. While 80% of the installation process is flawless and error free, it's that other critical 20% that will have you pulling your hair out in frustration. Needless to say, it's already nuked and VLocity 64 has been put back in.
