I'm sorry to have bothered everyone. I've decided to give up on loading openSUSE for now. Even after several years of Linux use I'm still no where near a "guru". My skill level is still along the lines of the average home computer user. I pretty much need something that just works. If you have to jump through all sorts of hoops just to get it installed, it's just not for me. I can't imagine what hoops I would have to jump through to get it working after installation.
Very sorry to hear that you have given up. But then, I don't blame you. You wouldn't be the first one to throw openSUSE away because of this - and I do wonder how many people have, in fact, gone away and spread the word to "stay away from openSUSE"[$] [pruned]
Along the thread somewhere someone suggested using text mode installation. I did get that to work. However, it did not detect my Kubuntu partition for inclusion in Grub. At my skill level I have absolutely no idea how to add that partition into the Grub setup. [ 1Tbyte hard drive partitioned into two 500gig drives. One for Windows and one for Kubuntu. ] It was a bit disappointing that Kubuntu wasn't detected.
Just wondering......if your 1TB drive is split into 2 partitions, one for Windows and the other for Kubuntu, where would openSUSE install itself?
