Is there a way to install opensuse (10.2) to > hdd so that it does a hardware detect at startup just like in the > LIVE DVD version?? I've never had a problem doing this. I've swapped drives between computers, and although slow, they will eventually come up. Sometime during the boot process, the system finds most everything. Once done, you'll get the found new hardware screen, and you can complete the process there. BTW, have you actually done this, or are you just guessing?
