Well, I'm doing it mostly for experimentation's sake.
I decided to use the network install method... I get the feeling I didn't do something right. They say something about hitting F3 and F4 to select the install protocol at the bootscreen, and I didn't. I let it boot to the menu, and then began the network install there. So far, it's gotten to loading YaST2 twice and hung.
It seems to be doing something this time. We'll see.
