[dundee] OpenSuSE 11.4 Minimal Text install problem

[Robert Ladyman]

Andreas,

Because I secretly love OpenSuSE (shh...don't tell anyone) I kept bashing away 
at it (on virtual and real machines) and eventually downloaded a net install 
version of 11.4: this installed successfully without the bug, but it does 
exist in the full DVD version, at least the one that I have. If you have a 
different DVD could you also try installing the minimal text version (it's 
reasonably quick) and see? 

I'm just downloading the DVD image from the OpenSuSE site itself (the one I 
was using was from Linux Magazine, Issue 126). If it exists in that version 
I'll report it as a bug (it might just be that the magazine cheated by putting 
out a release candidate instead of the actual released version).

I'll let you know in about....2 hours 7 minutes (+ installation time)
