Since I didn't get a dock or usb CDROM with this machine, I started the installation procedure using a USB Stick.  I followed these  [http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD#Creating_a_bootable_USB_Stick_from_Linux instructions to set up a boot USB key].  This contains GRUB and the loader for the installer.  The actual installation media was on an NFS share.  To set this up, copy the contents of the CDS/DVD into a directory (or mount the DVD iso image loopback) then share the directory containing CD1 via NFS, is the simplest way.  Sharing the DVD as a SMB share works from windows, too.

Press F12 during POST to get the boot selector menu up, choose the USB Key.  This boots into GRUB.  Press F4 here to set the installation source to NFS or SMB as needed, and enter the server details.  For example, with SMB, enter the server name, the name of the share, and the directory where the first CD's contents are, eg 'CD1'.  Now the installer is loaded from the share and proceeds as a usual SUSE install.  No special steps are required during the install, but read the documentation about [[ Pre-Installation_steps | preserving or moving the ThinkVantage rescue partition ]] before you commit to the installation.

{{NOTE|After installing the software, the installer reboots into the installed system to configure it, as usual.  Note that because it was booted from a USB key, GRUB has been installed onto the key instead of the hard disk.  You can correct this after the configuration is completed, but for now, keep the USB key inserted, boot from that again.  The GRUB menu boots the installed system from the hard disk, just like the old days with LILO and a boot floppy.  Once the installation and you're logged in, start YaST2, go to System, Bootloader, and change the boot loader location to its proper location (I recommend the boot or root partition with the Generic MBR option).  Now the laptop can boot on its own. }}

Installation

To get Kubuntu to start you have to add noapic to the bootparameter.
