This is work in progress... I reckon it should be something like this that needs to be implemented: *check for SL/openSUSE *if found check if there are root and home as separate partitions *if found ask user whether to format root, install there and use found data partition as mountpoint /home or use present implemented behaviour. Whoops, sorry for sending the mail direct ;-) . Another comments from Thomas Fehr: Currently we simply do not want to mount all filesystems to be able to create the proposal. Mounting might possibly take a long time and could even hang the machine if the filesystem is in a weird state. I think we might discuss it here but it still depends on Thomas :) and he's the only one who has enough information (and responsibility). Lukas Fits perfectly with me, 'cause I know such things look easy the first time but can be a rat tail of very difficult problems. Thanks for discussing and have a happy linux time, kind regards, Tom
