I promised screenshots of the install in progress and here they are, fifty of them - some photos and some normal screenshots of the installation on Amanda's Samsung R60plus (64bit).

See the openSUSE 11.0 installation in progress.

When Amanda acquired the laptop, installing 10.3 on it was not without problems but 11.0 installed beautifully. The only two small issues remaining were the continuing issue of the 64-bit Java plugin not working properly in Firefox. The only solution was to switch Firefox and all plugins to the i586 version. I couldn't work out a way to do this in YaST though so I had to do it in smart. The other issue was the rubbishy onboard Atheros wifi adapter and as-yet equally rubbish ath5k module for it. This is solved by popping blacklist ath5k into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
