Installing opensuse 11.1 on T61p.

Installation

Factory disk: two partitions: r&r and vista. I was first preparing a dual boot system, but gparted was not able to resize the vista partition. After many retries, I dropped the idea of dual boot and decided for suse-only system. I kept only the r&r and partitioned the rest with gparted as: 

/dev/sda1 r&r 6GB
/dev/sda2 /boot 64MB
/dev/sda3 extended
/dev/sda5 / 40GB
/dev/sda6 swap 4GB
/dev/sda7 /home 130GB

Network install was almost without problems (the partition configuration had to be edited during the installation, since the installers default was something

Works

Problems
