I bought a mac mini with the express purposes of running openSuSE on
it, I didn't need the OSX. So I downloaded the ISO Images booted the
machine, used YaST and YaST crashed with error 10004, partition error.
When I rebooted the apple nothing worked, I checked the md5sum, and
cds checked out fine, tried to re-install. The slightly reduced apple
partition was there, and YaST still had the new partitions ready to
go, but I had the same problem.
Then put the OSX system disk in and found a disk partitioning utility
played with that, got the partitions sorted but YaST still wouldn't
install openSuSE. I then checked the openSuSE documentation on PPC.
It said that In order to dual boot or even just use openSuSE on its
own I had to use an application called pdisk, re-partition using that
app, and that I should never use YaST to partition as YaST would wreck
my existing apple HFS partitions, and data would be un-recoverable.
