FWIW - from the WIKI

 openSUSE 11.0

An update from openSUSE 10.3 to openSUSE 11.0 can be made e.g. by using
an external USB DVD drive. The repositories mentioned above do provide
already all packages for openSUSE 11.0. If you want to use online
repositories during the update, you have to copy and load the atl2
Ethernet driver manually. openSUSE 11.0 seems still not to provide a
full set of hardware modules for the EeePC.



Thanks for the tip though.  It looks like a PIA but I'm going to try it
because I was real unhappy with the Umbuntu version.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been
