[opensuse] Installing 11.0 on bootable thumb drive

Hey all...
I am trying to install 11.0 on an 8 GB thumb drive and am getting almost
nowhere. I am using it on Dell latitude D630 that will boot from the
USB. I've tried using Unetbootin, using both the distribution selection
and the diskimage/ISO. I've also tried using the "SuSE install from USB
drive" wiki page (more about this later). In all the cases I've reached
the same point. It boots and goes to the menu where I get asked to
insert the opensuse cd #1. When I back out and follow the menus to start
the installation I get to either the hard drive or the DVD install it
comes back with "No repository found". For the hard drive I used an ISO
on another USB stick (which was recognized as being an EXT3 format USB
drive)and also on the boot usb as separate files/directories disk
structure.
The wiki page on the procedure has a major flaw in it. It has the USB
drive formatted as a FAT32 disk. In the "Copy files to the USB drive"
section it has you copy all of the disk structure to the usb drive,
however in Installation:Setup it says that "The setup will ask for the
ISO file location on the selected drive.". If down as first told all you
have is files. The other draw back is that FAT32 drives can't handle
files > 4GB.
I have searched the net and most of the hits were how to use the usb to
install it on a hard drive system. With this system I am not able to use
the hard drive or the internet so I am trying to get the USB to work.
So bottom line I haven't figured out why I am getting the "No repository
found", any help would be appreciated...

and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
