Whats the spec of the laptop?

IMHO
Gnome is a sugary nice desktop and what most MS users would like but its very 
resource hungry.

KDE is more business like and what most business people would expect to see.

Why not use FWVM its very light weight.

Never done an install of SuSE that way, I take it you burnt the iso's 1st? 
usually you'd stick the 5 images on the Windows partition I wonder if thats 
why you had to change the install path after CD1?
