OpenSuSE 11 on Toshiba Satellite

Installed the OpenSuSE 11.0 Linux distribution to a Toshiba Satellite M55-S3512 laptop from the Live/Installer DVD.

Screen Size: 14.1 inches
Weight: 5 lbs
Processor Options: Intel Pentium M,Intel Celeron
Graphics Options: Integrated

Toshiba Support Page for Satellite M55-S3512

Note that the URLs for the Yast online repositories listed in the default Yast configuration are still not right (last dealt with this under SuSE 9.2, iirc) - add the text 'suse/' to the end of the repository path settings to get the online update and software installation functions to work.

There is some OpenSuSE documentation still on the Novell site: Novell Doc: OpenSUSE 11.0 - Table of Contents
