The good parts of the install, after nuking the btrfs suggestion and the secondary non-native XFS suggestion and dropping back to the wasteful old ext4 that has never lost a file for me in a decade, the remainder went great.

This is quite different from my experience: After setting up the filesystem and selecting packages to install, the only option I got from the install program (whatever it's called) was to reboot. I never got the opportunity to set up any networking, not even a hostname or domain name (did those manually later, after the install "finished") with some generic names. Normally I have everything here on static IPs. Thank goodness I set up my router (long ago) to accommodate dynamic IPs, because I was running the Leap Net Install. Is this normal, having no chance to configure networking?
The network install media has different options than the "dvd" install media. Via network install the network is active since the very start. Even the installation system is downloaded via network. There is some chance to configure network, but I think it was via boot options. Other people accustomed to that install method can better tell you than me. The DVD instead boots and asks some questions before it reaches the point of asking about network. <https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book.opensuse.startup/cha.inst.html#sec.i.yast2.method> It says: «If no DHCP is available, choose F4 Source › Network Config › Manual and enter the network data.» -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E.
