Good question, I will put SuSE 10.1 in tomorrow and report back. What odds you giving for a trouble free installation?
LOL
I will post the result tomorrow OK

They wouldn't touch it in L.V.

Troublefree installation, hmmm... Seeing it took about 20 hours to figure out the AGP driver/monitor/nvidia war that kept me from Aero I'm not quite sure. I wouldn't bet but will probably jump in head first anyway myself tomorrow night.

We must compare notes about 3 Am Bob, I am taking my Vallium now so it

kicks in for the attempted install process.

Well that was rather painless. Installed Kubuntu, had to take a partition out of the physical drive Vista is on for the filesystem. Vista is on a 40GB part at the end of the drive, 4th partition. Probably lost it's assignment. Booted with install DVD and ran System Recovery Options, it detected the problem in the startup environment, rebooted, had to select the Recovered option, booted fine, to the control panel to make that default and all is well. Grub detects the new bootloader and no changes needed to be made to it's config file.

SuSE 10.1 went in fine, lost Vista, Vallium long worn off so resorted to the MSFT method of problem solving by chucking chairs around my workshop in a huge temper tantrum. Doesn't seem to be very effective for much except scaring the shit out of the dog who was minding her own business and kipping under one of the benches. She likes the whirring of the fans and drives for some reason.
"Boot with install DVD and run system recovery option?"
Now I would have thought of that myself if I had taken more tablets.
bugger it I am going to bed I will do it tomorrow.
