Carroll - Thanks for the tip.  As it happens, the SuSE installer 
wouldn't let me install without clobbering Fedora, so I aborted.  I was 
going to do it only if it would let me resized one partition to make 
enough room for a bare-bones installation of SuSE, and then to grab 
whatever X components I needed.  It looks like there's a more up-to-date 
xorg version that I should just try to get, so I'll follow that route 
for now.

know is named for the old Baltimore family of the same spelling.  Just 
curious.)
