Within YaST, goto "Network Devices" and then select "Network Card". All
settings relating to the operation of the network card can be found there.

You can edit your bootloader settings from within YaST.

Select "System" and then "bootloader", and then on the "Section 
Management" tab you will be able to modify or remove sections as you 
want.

WRT the partition(s) used (formerly) by Redmond, you can do what you like 
to them again within YaST by selecting "System" and then "Partitioner". 
Partitioner takes a little longer to start than the "Bootloader" applet.

I hope that helps. :o)


Cheers

David
