Installation notes

• If you turn the firewall off during the installation, the firewall will not stay off even though it says it will. Solution: Wait until openSUSE has installed and during configuration, turn it off again. Alternatley, turn the firewall off with YaST after installation and also disallow it from starting at startup.
• CrashPlan will need OpenJDK uninstalled (requiring a few Libreoffice extensions to be uninstalled also). Download the latest JRE from Oracle to make it work. You will also need to include a line in /usr/local/crashplan/bin/run.conf. See CrashPlan client closes in some Linux installations.
• CrashPlan will also need the memory allocation changing if backing up more than 1TB. In the same file as above, find -Xmx512 and change to at least -Xmx1024 or more (Recommended: -Xmx2048), otherwise CrashPlan will run out of memory and keep restarting without backing up.
