Install Question
 

I'm not new to linux, I have used Mandrake for about 2 years now but I wanted to try some other distros and decided to try Suse. I have 2 questions, first how easy is suse to change a windows partition for duel booting, like how mandrake has the slider bar to change the partition size. And second how well does Suse handle Wifi. I am thinking of putting this on my laptop which is a Toshiba A45-S1202 Satelite with the Atheros chipset for the wifi and I know mandrake has issues with getting this to work. Does anyone know if this will work or will I have to do some tweaking with the drivers like Madwifi or something.

Thanks

SuSE works fine with wifi for me (I'm using 9.2 Pro it says it has added features for mobile computers.) you can resize your windows partition very easy. when you install you have to change the partition setings and it will let you resize it however you want, but you have to defrag the windows disk first or it won't work. get atleast SuSE 9.1 (first one with the 2.6 kernel) but 9.3 is out now.

Thanks
 

Thanks, decided to try mandrake again and see if I cant get the wifi to work correctly this time. If not I will try suse 9.1+ and see what that brings. Thanks again

scratch that
 

Ok tryed mandrake again and it just wasn't working. So I went with Suse 9.1 personal and wouldn't you know it, it found the card right off the bat, and was able to connect with a little effort. For some reason it didnt like my WEP key thou so I removed it and only have MAC filtering and it worked great. Thanks for the suggestion, should have tryed it right out of the gate. Thanks again.
