Suse and the RedHat distributions differ slightly in file structure and
configuration scheme - parts of the configuration are handled and stored
differently.  Suse doesn't,. as far as I know, use any package
management scheme, but assumes everything will be built/compiled for
installation.

I would think you'd want to at least install it to a separate partition,
if not a separate machine, rather than try to convert a working RedHat
installation to Suse directly.
