I Installed suse 11 a while ago yet to another laptop.  The experience
was horrible, but only because I forgot to do the system update immediately
after install from DVD.
.. I tried to install ati drivers before kernel update, so you can imagine..
The system started to install all kinds of weird kernel versions (pae, etc.).

So, I think it would be a good idea that after a clean DVD install, the system 
automatically pops up a gigantic banner saying:

Go to Yast => Online Update

Cheers,

Sampsa
