OK, mine has the "slip of paper too".

For those who have already installed, did you use yast2 or yast1?  If
you used yast2, did it just use your partitions as is or try to change
them?  I asked because I just read a review of it, and the author said
it was made installation easy but that it changed his partitions.  I
don't want that, I have them like I want them.  Does anyone have any
experiences to share on this?

Thanks,
