Ha Ha, it didn't know how to handle that one, did it.

Will IPv6 ever be used? If not,why did they invent it.
So was that the live CD install or the DVD install? 32 or 64 bit?

Could be an idea to highlight "disable IPv6", as this apparently does not
work yet. When i installed 10.3 on my laptop, IPv6 was enabled by default
and i could not get online until i disabled it.

IPv6 works just fine, it just takes a bit of an effort to set up a
tunnel from an IPv6 tunnel broker.
With my provider I have been able to set up an IPv6 tunnel for many
years already and there has never been a reason to disable IPv6.

Wow, that was informative. It didn't occur to you to tell us how you did
it?

In my case, with my provider (xs4all, Netherlands):
#v+
$cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-sit1
STARTMODE='auto'
BOOTPROTO='static'
TUNNEL='sit'
TUNNEL_LOCAL_IPADDR='10.0.0.150'
TUNNEL_REMOTE_IPADDR='194.109.5.241'
IPADDR='2001:888:10:90f:5213:2609:0429:4603/64'
TUNNEL_TTL='64'
MTU='1280'

$cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-sit1
2000::/3 2001:888:10:90f::1 - - - metric 1
#v-

I could have chosen any address in the 2001:888:10:90f::0/64 range, this
one happens to hold my geo position.

For general tunnel brokers see e.g.
http://www.deepspace6.net/docs/tunnelbrokers.html
And check out one (or more) of the possible advertized parties where
you can get an IPv6 subnet.
SixXS is a well known broker, with a client program (aiccu) that is
maintaned for SUSE by different users
http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?searchTerm=aiccu

Sorry, I do not have hands-on experience with other tunnel providers
than my own ISP, so I can not easily help you to configure for your
specific sistuation.
