First question. Would both fit on one DVD
both on one DVD. Actually, the 2 versions can use the same packages, and therefore eat single space.
2nd. What would it accomplish, besides adding the risk of accidentally "installing" on a working system?
1. ability to backup data, recover passwords, when main OS is damaged. 2. Test drivers compatibility with SUSE Linux *before* you waste time installing it, and discover that Wireless doesn't function, or scanner is not supported. *That's very useful, if you bought your PC for Windows, and now want to run Linux on it, is it is a case at our Home. For next-gen hardware we will buy Linux-compatible hardware, but that Live+Setup DVD will be great help for many newbies.
