hi all !

I'm thinking - would it be possible to install openSUSE on NTFS
partition, to prevent repartitioning, so more Windows users will be
able to try out SUSE Linux ?


Why? What is it that you find so fascinating with NTFS to have it as
native to linux so you can install on it? I actually find no reason not
to use one of the existing native filesystems. The whole purpose of
NTFS-G is to be able to share files (write) to a local disk when booted
in linux not so you boot to it.
