Hello there,
I have a DELL Inpiron 8100 notebook, P3 1.13Ghz, NVIDIA GeForce2
When I boot my SuSE 7.1 CD, it freezes at the detecting new hardware stage.
Generalizing wildly from my experience with desktops, I would suggest that when you select "Manual Installation" on the initial screen that appears when you boot, and several steps later, when you are given the choice between the Yast1 and Yast2 installers, pick Yast1 (text). Yast1 seems considerably more robust than Yast2. -- Emilio
