1) I use a serial mouse, the installation was unable to detect it and
instead of just asking me if I had one I was just dropped in the
console based installation. Am I the only person in this planet
using a serial mouse?
2) The console installation has some grievous bugs and given that
the installation activates swap pretty late and the neeed for a RAM
disk that means that the buggy console install is the only choice
for < 32 meg boxes. Are we living in a planet where nobody has <
32 mags?
3) The console installation (don't know about the graphic one) asks
you the keyboard you are using but does nothing about it. And
later when you reboot you are still in Us keyboard. Of course
your password will be wrong beacuse you typed it US-like. Am I
the only user of a non US keyboard in this planet?
4) In the console installation you get zero package description so
you have to install blind. Am I the only person in this planet
who is no genius enough to be able to guess what each package is
for?
5) Stopping the xfs (a seemingly inocuous action) means the user
will be deprived of a graphical interface. Any earther would
have told you that Xconfigurator should genarate a regular font
path and then when starting X, probe for the xfs and do an xset
to put it in front of the font path: that would make a bit harder
for the user shooting himslf in the foot
6) You have a nice PPP config tool but you do nothing about DNS. DNS
settings could be autodetected by probing the PPP server of the
ISP. In fact the Linux PPP server can be configured to provide
this info, Suse allows PPP users to either use DNS
autoconfiguration or having the user entering DNS settings manually
