Heh. I guess so. I can't find any such thing on my system. Might you
be talking about the dreaded XP? I never went that route.

Jeroen,
   Since I'm new to Linux, I'm wanting to keep my Windows installation
intact and dual-boot (at least for a while.) And because I'm using
FAT32 (Millennium Edition), that should be easy from what I understand.
   Also, I have two hard drives and the main drive (c:\) is cloned to
the second one (d:\), so everything's backed up.
   YaST should then be able to split the main drive into two
partitions to start with, saving my Windows installation? It would be
nice if somebody has done a walkthrough of the SuSE installation. I've
looked but can't find one.
