The attempted and failed install of SUSE got me so mad that I punched my own gums in a fit of rage (seriously, people can verify this)
You'd think that a full CD would come with at least a few of the core files needed for a most minimal of installs, so that the needed packages can be downloaded manually afterwards.
But no! This POS OS, after wasting an undermined amount of our time just getting the 60mb base image to START the install, it then automatically goes into "downloading 500mb worth of packages" mode.
We said "fuck it", and left it downloading. Some time in the middle of the night, it crapped out at 48%.
Yay SUSE, it's YASTastic.
