the easiest and safest for HW testing is just using the LiveCDs (possibly copied raw to USB) without installing.

The NET/DVD install parts could use generic vesa/fbdev graphics, and the 3D effect stress of KDE4 and gnome+compiz is missing anyway.

Ciao Bernhard M.

Sounds good to me - I probably can shrink /home by 20 GB and squeeze in a second root partition for 11.4 anyhow. How are things looking for the "nouveau" driver on NVidia? I've never been able to get it to work right and use either "nv" or the non-OSS NVidia driver on my desktop.

actually, the latest proprietary driver is causing some trouble on both 11.3 and 11.4-RC1: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648718 while the default nouveau one just worked on a notebook with Geforce Go 7700. also note that the above images are only candidates to be RC2, so might still see updating.
