I haven't tried SuSE... yet, but this is interesting. Is there no way to do a
command-line only install with no X system? If so, does the package management
system use ncurses or something or similar?

If it's really not possible to have a text based SuSE install, then I probably
won't bother trying it out. I prefer to keep my servers lean and mean. The less
crap I can install on a box the better.
