On your system, YaST probably just used the whole disk.  I've never
used any of the POWER systems so I can't really help.

SLED 11(SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) would likely have better
support for your hardware.  It is $50 a year for updates & stuff, but
it would at least have all the security patches that openSUSE 11.1
doesn't get anymore.

There is also the Evergreen project:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen

which should theoretically have the possibility for  a fairly updated
11.1 system.  However, I'm not sure how well 11.1/ppc is supported or
if there are any ppc users helping out with the project.  Evergreen is
using the SLE 11 kernel.
