Hi,

The better place for you to ask this is the SUSE-e list. You can find it 
here: http://lists.suse.com

SUSE 9.2 has a 'Repair System" option from the install CD or DVD that 
really impressed me. 

I have had and I have seen posts regarding system hangs using USB ext 
HDs.

we'll look for you on the SUSE-e list
