1 to 4. Suse 10.1 is now up and running and it is pretty good.

I was a bit annoyed at first as I had a lot of problems but it was
worth the effort. The Samba networking is very good, no faffing about
with config files and smb passwd stuff, it just works. No sound
problems, DVDs play as advertised, printers - even network printing
works after some fiddling.

Vast improvement on 10.0........eventually.

I will have a go at the Nvidia drivers tomorrow - that will be fun.

Check that you have gcc and kernel source installed. YaST >

choose to install, then the same with the kernel source.

I always have the kernel source installed for compiling stuff
into kernel, so I'm not sure if it's needed here, but it's always
good to have available.

Then:
Change to a console by pressing ctrl alt F1.
Login as root
Command init 3
Command tiny-nvidia-installer --update
Accept everything

After the installation is finished:
Command init 5 && exit
You're in business with NVidia

Cheers Vahis, you should charge for this information.
Write a book!
