I don't think installation is over complex. I find most of the options & choices given during installation very useful.It allows me to install to XFS,ReiserFS,JFS...I can go on.
And I also agree somewhat with claims that in 10.3 installation speed improved. The files are copied very fast, but the dependency resolving is still slow. I think, Suse package management and slow are synonymous. Anyhow I got used to that. But the issue is when trying to install it for people new to Suse. They are immediately put-off with the delay in installing a package. Click on software management icon in Yast and it takes ages... Hope their claims for 10.3 are true.
Also from my past experience, installing Suse from CDs means asking for trouble. I prefer installing it from DVD.
