I tried that suse slick cd install. It got to the partition bit and
recommended I resize my windows ntfs partition to 1GB and the rest for
linux. Well that would not have worked as the windows OS is about 3Gb.
That could have been problematic for a newbie. Although admittedly if
someone is not aware of partitioning they should not be fiddling around as
that is just a basic thing to know.
