It is my policy to never stick to the defaults, without checking what they are, and changing whatever I do not like. I write a paper note with what I change.
On the other hand, the solution your friend suggested, creating a /boot partition is correct. But I would create it with ext2 (two). Although no need to shrink /windows, it can be anywhere. Even a logical partition works.
Is ext2 always available? It was my first idea, but i think I have read than not every system read it :-(
Of course it is available. I do not know of any openSUSE system incapable of using it. Alternatively, you can create ext3/4 without journal. A bit trickier, as you have to type the concoction (it is what is recommended for usb flash sticks). mke2fs -t ext4 -L SOMENAME -O ^has_journal /dev/sdXY
what made me glas there is that with Linux there is always a solution, often many. Trys this with the competition :-)
