OK, fired up 3-1.  I could not find/burn a deal CD, so opted for USB.
Wrote the USB using Studio Imagewriter - this app should be part of
the default software on all future openSUSE installs.  No problems
writing to USB.  I tried out the LiveCD on an Asus EEE PC 1005HA-H.
Intentionally selected a low end netbook so that if there any issues
with Nepomuk/Strigi they will be noticeable.. more so on low end than
high end PCs.

On boot I get an error message (after the desktop is loaded):
-------------------
Nepomuk was not able to find the configured database backend
'redland'.  Existing data cannot be accessed.  For data security
reasons Nepomuk will be disabled until the situation has been resolved
manually.
-------------------
So, with this error, Nepomuk is not started, and I can't really test
to see if there is any impact from having it enabled - honestly I
don't expect any impact anyway.  Nepomuk/Strigi is working very well
in the default 11.3 as it is, and on a LiveCD install, it's not like
there are thousands of files to index anyway.

The Desktop Folder view is set to /home/linux not /home/linux/Desktop.
 Intentional?

The 11.2 Quickstart Guide is included in /home/linux  No 11.3 guide available?

Adding a Wireless connection seems... not right.  I click the network
icon in the systray, and Wireless is enabled, but I don't see the
usual options for connecting to my WiFi (eg no Connect to Other
Network menu choice)... all that's there is a blank menu option (no
text) a dividing line, and then Enable wireless, and Manage
Connections.

I can open the Configure-KDE Control Module window and configure my
WiFi connection... so did that.  Now, Connect to Other Network shows
up, but the configured WiFi connection is not available - there is
still a blank menu item on the Network context menu.  If I click that,
I get a popup that says "Unavailable".  If I click on Connect to Other
Network  I can select the connection i just defined, but it does
nothing - no connection... just silently fails.

So... no WiFi connection... something is broken here... note that WiFi
works perfectly on this Asus EEE with a default 11.3/KDE4.4.4 install.

This is what I see right away...
