Will there be a version of openSUSE that does things properly? After 
all, we aren't running Windows here and this tool crapped out on my 
ThinkPad E520.  It worked OK on my desktop system.

Like many others, I maintain a separate partition for home directory and 
the ThinkPad also has Windows partitions on it.  The only way I can 
currently upgrade it to 16 is to backup all those partitions, install 
16, resize the partition and then restore those partitions.
