Hello all,
I would second this..wait for 6.4. I use to think that Linux was a big waste of time before I discovered SuSE.
Give these guys a break, they do damn good work..it may not be on installers or anything as low on my list as this, but their kernel work and XFree work alone merits respect.
I, too, agree with Lenz's sentiment. If another company wants to spend all their time creating a super-installer at the expense of creating an excellent dist including an incredible amount of current packages that's fine with me. I would stick with SuSE even if they never came out with a good graphical installer. Plus I'm confident that within a short amount of time YAST2 is going to be incredible. Greg

Correction: "MOST" of YaST2 rocks
I'm still disappointed that YaST2 does not allow me to
install SuSE
6.3 to non-adjacent partitions. To install to non-adjacent partitions, I must still use YaST1. Mandrake 7.0-2 uses a top-notch graphical installer called drakx. SuSE would be wise to incorporate drakx into the next release of SuSE Linux.
<PERSONAL RANT> Well, since distributions nowadays only seem to be judged by it's installation utility, how should we set ourself apart by reusing someone else's tool?
We have added a lot of features in YaST2 for SuSE Linux 6.4.
There will be a more flexible partitioning dialogue, which will also allow you to use ReiserFS partitions and multiple disks (no LVM yet, you still need to fall back to YaST1 for Logical Volumes). In addition to that, there is a more flexible package selection and the configuration of Sound cards, printers, Internet connection with Modem/ISDN and Network configuration.
