OpenSUSE btrfs installs have /boot on the root filesystem rather than a 
separate partition from what I've seen on the btrfs list (a recent thread 
there).

Thanks to all,

On the subsequent boot for the installation, the partition manager detected my previous proposal and so I accepted it. The installation was really fast for an OpenSuse install. Next I just have to configure the software repositories and get QlandkarteGT installed. Now that I have a larger cable plan it might be time to commit more data to the cloud.

When I used Mandriva there were 2 groups of repositories, Official and Penguin Liberation Front for non-free applications, and a really handy site was http://easyurpmi.zarb.org which would detect the Mandriva version and configure the repositories. Fantastic really.

Thanks again,
