Mentions of "for the uninitiated" sounds about right. To sidestep any
problems with the DVD, I've installed from Factory. Looks like the DVD
should have been delayed until it was compared with Factory for
stability.
I think the reviewer attempted to be fair (he points to the URL to
show where he is coming from). Perhaps some pertinent pointers for 11.0.

always the same garbage... the author say that he wouldn't give openSUSE
to a newcommer, but he try the install on a very special machine (grub
on the root partition, and he wonder why he can't reboot without editing
the original grub!!!), and when going to console he tries to use
mandriva tools and don't know yast is at hand.
so one people that wants to make all special by himself and wonder why
openSUSE don't do this automatically. May I say no distribution can do?
and on my own laptop, mandriva installs worst than openSUSE (what means
little)

On those points I agree. He clearly is one of the "for the uninitiated"
whose blunders were glaring and of the "why would he even think of
doing that" variety. Perhaps even on that hardware, most of us would get
it working without a hitch simply because we wouldn't stray away from
the standard path.
Still there are a few things there that may bear looking into. Reminds
me of giving a training class to mainframe operators, with handouts, but
when I saw what they wrote up as operating procedures for all to follow,
shock horror, "I never said that or that".
Regards
Sid.
