I tried the install without DSL plugged in, and left it unplugged
during bootup, but it still shows a black screen after the grub menu.
I gave it plenty of time and the busy light on my case stopped
flashing, sooo... I'm not sure what else to do here.

The install process goes smoothly. I have an old Socket A 900MHz AMD Athlon Processor with 512MB ram, 40GB hard drive containing Windows XP Pro and 10GB hard drive to which I'm installing openSUSE 10.2
The only problem I have during setup is that it doesn't connect to the internet (I have dsl) while knoppix live cd recognizes the connect automatically.
No other errors are reported and I'm able to choose windows or suse from the grub list, with windows working fine, but suse never reaches a gui? It shows text - done type lines and then goes to a black screen which never goes away?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have had a similar problem with my old Dell. I use 10.0. Startup computer, make room for installation of Suse. Shutdown computer, and unplug ethernet cable to dsl-modem. Install Suse from cd's or dvd. Reboot to check if dual boot works. Plug ethernet cable back in; internet connection works also in Suse....
hope this helps.
