I clicked on that little bugger right out of the box and it did nothing for
me. Honestly I want my IP stack to come up BEFORE the gui starts, I
am going to have to look at this and see why all of this gui crap needs
to be running to get the comms going. I want to be able to ping, ftp,
use LYNX or whatever else CLI that happens in my head before the
gui is running, not after, if I wanted that I would run the W word...

Yea, someone needs to take that one out behind the shed and shoot it,
it was slow under 10.0, but now it is like watching glass drip (remember
glass IS a liquid, just real thick) I hope that they get that fixed as it is
way too slow now. If you are not logged in as root it YaST will ask you
for root login, once that is done it gets into the SLOW part.
