Hi, After running with SUSE 10.1 for a while I've decided it's time to upgrade to openSUSE 10.2. What I'd like to do is a fresh 10.2 install while keeping all my /home files (they are on a separate partition). But I can't seem to get the installer to leave that partition alone. My 80-gig hard disk is partitioned as follows:
sdb1: 1.5GB Linux swap sdb2: 20GB Linux (reiserfs) / sdb3: 53GB Linux (reiserfs) /home The installer thinks I should make sdb3 an 'extended partition' and then create two additional partitions (sdb4 and sdb5) on it, for housing / and /home, respectively. If I try to alter this setup I can't make it leave sdb3 as it is... If I decide to request a partition scheme by using sdb2 and sdb3 allocated space, it then thinks I should delete (not just format) those partitions and create identical new ones in their place! Even if I set it up to not format sdb3, it still lists both partitions as being up for deletion and re-creation. I don't know what to do. I'd like to start fresh without losing my files, if possible. Can I accomplish that without moving an awful lot of files to another storage? Thanks, Sorin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
