[opensuse] Downgrade to Vista

Okay, this blows. (Sorry for the California term, but it is all I can
think of.)

After several hours of installing 10.3 on my laptop followed by
terrible frustration and then several hours of installing 10.2 on my
laptop, I've decided I need to downgrade to Vista.

Unfortunately, the laptop must be encrypted. There is no other option,
since it is a business laptop.

From what I can tell - I had a perfectly working laptop on Thursday.
Yesterday I took it upon myself to upgrade to 10.3 and encrypt the
home partition. Doing so caused numerous issues, mostly with locking
up the screen and/or system randomly.

I decided today to do a fresh install of 10.2 - which was working fine
- on the system with an encrypted home partition.

Same issues. System will lock up unexpectedly after either a few
minutes or after an hour.

I can only guess that the encryption is causing the issue.

Unless anyone has further suggestions, it appears I need to downgrade
to Vista (which came with the laptop) and bite the bullet.

Ideas?
