I did finally get the install complete by 10:30 or 11pm.  System works 
great, but I have to say that there is something wrong w/ the display 
settings Suse has for my monitor.  The Monitor was listed in Sax2, but 
initially it wouldn't work at 1024x768.  I lowered the frequencies a bit 
on horiz. and ver. and it worked, but the picture is a bit fuzzy.  There 
is nothing wrong w/ the monitor and the video card should be OK.  It's 
an old ATI Rage Pro AGP 2x.  i would have thought that by now there 
would be 3D support for this card, but not according to the Suse 
install. i think I will go to the ATI site and see if I can find an RPM 
of a more recent driver.  I like that even though I was using the 
download version I was able to get drivers/programs for my TV Card at 
install time.  RedHat 9 missed the boat on that one.
