"Last week OpenSuSE 11.0 Alpha 1 was released, and in addition to including KDE 4.0, PulseAudio integration, and various package updates, Alpha 1 features improvements to the OpenSuSE installer. This installer uses Qt4 and is much improved, which warranted us taking a closer look."

No the map in the installer is not based on Marble (http://edu.kde.org/marble). However IMHO using it in an installer would be a perfect usecase given that:
- it shouldn't be an issue to strip Marble down to a 2 MB package including the required worldmap data
- Marble depends on Qt4 only
- Marble ships with a Qt-Designer plugin
- Marble doesn't require OpenGL
- Marble uses little physical memory compared to other virtual globes / zoomable maps
- Marble has a custom InputHandler interface
- Marble is themable through and through (including shading, colorization, label styles, etc.).
