:-D you can also get the good ol text install if you really want it, you
select 'manual installation' and you should be just fine :-D
Other than that, if you are using SuSE 8.2, then you can also 'resize'
your windows partition. I haven't tested their ntfs resiser, but the
Fat32 resiser works pretty well since suse 6.4. This would allow you to
dual boot your pc, and converts free space on your initial partition
into another partition. This however requires that you've 'defragmented'
your hard disk in winblowze - the space needs to be contiguous.
