Well 'splain me then.
I too had a partition ready at first and skipped the partition stuff... 7.2
went ahead and started MAKING NEW PARTITIONS out of the areas I specified. I
didn't care for that.
My initial install was to put a small 'emergency system' in place (which I
usually do) and it made the partitions up using ALL OF THE SPACE. Didn't
care for that either.
That's when I backed up and decided there must be a better way. Using the
expert partitioning, you can pre-make your partitions and then use them as
you will including setting up for reiserfs.
