I'm currently running RedHat 7.3 on my box, and would like to upgrade to SuSe 9.0. My partition table includes separate root, /usr, /var, /home, and a /media (where the mp3's go) partition. I want to install the OS on the root, /usr, and /var partitions but not delete or alter the /home and /media partitions.
I can't seem to get it to handle this. If I select update existing system, it doesn't let me select more than one partition to update. I don't want to select new, because it looks like that'll delete my partitions in favor of a monolith.
I'm used to RedHat, where I have to tell it "format this, this, and this, but not that or that, and assign this to root, this to /usr, this to /var, etc..." It doesn't appear that SuSE has that functionality, unless I'm missing something.
Just choose the advanced partition selection (for experts) menu, and there you get to choose if format, and in such case, what filesystem to format with. Once you start using that menu you'll never use anything else. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
