Hi, I am new to OpenSUSE, but have come from a different Linux Distro. Twice now I have tried installing OpenSuse 12.1 on a clean partition (formatted as part of install, containing both / and /home) --snip--

Thankyou all for the assistance and encouragement. My system is now working well. A run down on what I did: Booting with systemV using the F5 key was really easy once I knew to do it, and a lot of the warning messages etc disappeared. Thankyou Greg! Prior to your responses I had been using "YaST > System > System services (runlevel)". I had already found that the enable/disable buttons start and stop the services, however for me it was not saving the service states for the next time I booted. I found that the "OK" button makes the changes permanent, while "CANCEL" makes them apply only to the current session. **Being nervous and unsure I had been pressing CANCEL here** This was causing many of my reboot problems! In "YaST>network devices>network settings>global" I selected "User controlled with Ntetwork Manager" and the networking was good again Finally the sound was a problem. I installed the pulseaudio tools and found that pulse audio had been set to mute. I turned pulse audio back on and it was good. Is there anywhere else in the GUI I could have done this? It seems a bit major to me that I have to find and install a package to deal with something as rudimentary as this... I am hoping this can get back to the developers etc as a use case to consider for future versions!
