I am going to load SuSE onto a "small" (2GB) hard drive on my lapotop. I have three questions:
1. If I just let SuSE install itself, will SuSE simply load everything on a single partition or will it set up partitions optimally, given the disk space? If not, how should I divide up the 2GB? I recently installed SuSE 7.2 on a HP Omnibook XE2, it was as easy as adding cream to the coffee. If Linux is the only OS on your harddisk you don't have to bother about the partitions at all other than making sure that there will exist a swap partition. You can make a minimal installation and then add the things you need with YaST (I prefer using YaST1 for that).
2. Any problems with SuSE recognizing and accommodating for PCMCIA slots?
On my HP it recognized everything except the modem.
3. Any way I can get SuSE to use Gnome rather than KDE?
You are the boss and you decide... :-) Exclude KDE, and add Gnome instead. Get back here if you need further information on how you do that.

It would help if we knew the specs of your laptop and what version you were planning to install. Yeah, that's right!
