OK, i have decided that i will try SuSE 10.2's inteligent partitoner to try and get it installed on this laptop...
...I simply love SuSE's new look and XGL etc...so i think its 100% worth the risk and it will help develop my linux skill anyway. I am going to:
1. Try to make the curent partition layout more logical using Acronis Disk Director (from the PLESK people)
2. Burn the SuSE 10.2 ISO on the slowest speed available for the DVD burner on this lappy.
3. Test that the DVD boots ok in my pc that runs SuSE as default and then attempt to not update, but re-install it onto that PC.
4. If the DVD works in my PC i will run the setup on my laptop and attempt to configure the partitons, and if that fails i will come to here and ask you guys for some hints :P
