Great that it (tip from suse-list) worked! If you start tweaking the 
installation - I like to hear if you find something interesting ;-). My 
tweaking has been mostly trying different programs and choosing the ones that 
I like the most (and also the look of programs / desktop environment), but I 
try learn also to automate tasks and improve OS-performance.
