openSUSE, SLE, and distros based upon openSUSE. AFAIK, nothing using YaST is Ubuntu based. openSUSE with YaST provides such flexibility that there is little to gain by spinning off as happens with Debian (on which Ubuntu and its copious derivatives are based).

However "yast" is a text only terminal interface

Yast2 is the GUI version

It did install

Success. I finally got Mint installed! It took awhile and I almost gave up. Here's how I finally got it to work.I aborted gthe first install and somehow messed my computer so it would not boot and Linux except SUSE from a USB Flash drive. I installed openSUSE and it fixed the Boot manager so it would load other Linux distros from a USB Flash drive. As my previous post show I was worried about it installing on the wrong partition and deleting Windows. So I booted back into Windows and using the Disk Partition I deleted the SUSE partition. That made it unallocated space again. Ran the Mint installer and selected install along side Windows and the rest is has they say history. Thanks for all your help
