Hi, Bruce:
I probably could have used fdisk or cfdisk to create a partition for
SuSE, but instead, I chose to I boot Partition Magic 6.0 from a PM boot
floppy that actually runs Caldera DR-DOS 7.0 to load Partition Magic.
Then I created a ext2fs partition (I could have used *any fs type, I
guess) and then booted the machine from the SuSE 7.2 install CD.
The install program offered to delete, create, repartition and format
an area in which to place a /boot partition and the / (root)
installation, so I let it do that. I didn't see the file system type
choice because I never got as far as the "expert partitioning."
So it now appears a complete re-install will be required to try the
Reiser file system. Oh, well...
Regards,
Glenn
