Yep this is the most recent one from SuSE -snip-
The only obscurity I faced during the install was the partitioning. It
was unable to handle HDD-s not having SUN disklabel on them (yemmm I
used them previously in a PC) thus I needed the Debian Woody sparc
edition's boot and root floppies to make the necessary partitioning and
formatting.
In the other hand as server the 7.3 is ideal, I use as sec dns and
backup mail server. Mmmmmm yast2 was not handy at all... Yast seems to
work better. But frankly mcedit is the best ...
