OK, I'm going crazy after spending two weeks chasing down every bit of documentation I could find online. I've tried Suse Leap, 13.1 and 13.2. 13.1 may have destroyed a lot of data on a disk I wasn't installing to as it would only load the install in the character mode, and even though I kept telling it's scheme to not use that disk, it gave feedback that it was formatting that disk.
No. The installer obeys absolutely what you tell it to do. It will not format anything without telling you before. Thus you are giving it wrong instructions. Granted that sometimes what it says it is going to do maybe cryptic, but it does tell you.
Second, Leap comes closest to installing, but it always fails at the end. I've tried 3 disks burned on 3 different machines to try to ensure a good burn.
You don't have to burn several install disks. You have to burn one, and *verify* that the checksum is correct. The procedure is published on the help pages of the wiki. IF the checksum fail, repeat UNTIL the check passes. If it does not pass, do not install with that DVD. EVER. Or, use a USB stick instead. You have a new computer, surely it can boot from a USB stick. Instead, you verify the download image.
At the end of the Leap install, I consistently get the following errors:
quagga can't be installed
gdm can't be installed
susefirewall2 not found
service susefirewall2 not found
Error: cannot adjust 'NTP' service (I disabled NTP)
Then the screen goes to character mode and: An Error Occurred. (Sometimes error 4)
Which proves that your installation media is bad. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
