Laptop SuSE install problem

[Charles Clifton Fulton <cf352197@oak.cats.ohiou.edu>]

I decided to try SuSE 7.0 but have run into a little hang up.

The install gets so far as 'initializing /home' and then there is a flash
(looks like it's starting an X server) and it hangs.

I've got a laptop with a Trident Cyber video chipset.  It's always been a
little finicky with X and I think that's the problem.

Is there a text install or maybe some way to pass parameters to the X
server so it doesn't choke?

Thanks,
Charlie
