Ok - I upgraded from SUSE 10.3 so I had already managed to partition the disks and install yaboot. The network install just did not work for me whatever I did (later I found the network cable was not inserted correctly). The DVD did work but my powerbook could only read DVD Rs not DVD RWs which caused some problems.

The install was fairly simple as per x86 machines, unlike SUSE 10.3 the sound appears to work although it can be a bit choppy at high loads.

The biggest problem was the X server, SAX2 / YAST just does not work for this machine, it took quite a long time to get a working xorg.conf so here it is (I had the same problems under 10.3 but got so annoyed trying to get the install working I forgot to preserve /etc and lost it!).
