Kenneth,
Yes. I ran the md5 sums on my disks in addition to the fact that k3b seems to have done something of the sort automagically before I burned each CD. (I could be wrong, but I wouldn't trust sucha feature anyway.)
I also verified each CD in the media check stage of the install. So I am nearly as sure as I can get that I (a) had the right ISOs on hand and (b) made good CDs from them.
As for speed, I don't expect my ancient 'puter to be fast, but it did seem slower. Some subsequent actual use has put that into perspective, though. Using FVWM (my preferred window manager anyway) feels about the same overall as before. Perhaps things seemed slower after fighting the installer all day and being unable to boot from the hard disk.... :-/
In fairness, I have heard from others who tried 10.1 (but the boxed set) and had no problems installing it.
But still. Mine's a fairly simple setup. It shouldn't have ended up FUBAR like it has.

Hi
Did you check the md5 sum on your install cd? Did you install the gold master or one of the release candidates? I have successfully installed SUSE 10.1 GM on a 700 mhz, 512 mb ram Siemens scenic machine and ten other(more recent) machines. Aside from the new package manager being broken I think the installations has gone very smooth.
Your hardware is also very old and you can't
expect
suse 10.1 to run faster on a box like the one you described than
8.1.
Other than that my suse 10.1 is more responsive
than
both suse 9.1, 9,2, 9,3 and 10 compared with the following: boot time (50 sec), launching firefox first time (4 sec), launching konq (1
sec),
shut-down (15 seconds).

I Steve, For the boot problem : Did you had a small boot partition, which was necessary on some old hardware ? (something related to the BIOS I think, but I am not an expert). I personally successfully upgraded a suse 10.0 to 10.1 on a Dell Laptop without a problem (apart from that zmd crap things....I miss SuSEwatcher !!). Just my 2 cents.
