[SLE] Yast2 "use entire hard disk" option
The new Yast2 that comes with v7.0 has a very useful sounding 'use entire hard disk' option and in fact the helpful booklet quick installation guide suggests that partioning the hard disk yourself shouldn't be attempted. I was just wondering what partitions yast2 would make for me by default if I selected the 'use entire hard disk' option and pointed it to my newly installed 18Gb harddisk. Would it make separate partitions for /boot, /swap and /home? Anyone have any idea? thanks, ian -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

How about trying that expert button so you CAN partition your driver or heck..just boot off CD2 and use YaST1 ;D * jul (julg@home.com) [000912 06:29]: -->Ian Goodyer wrote: -->> -->> The new Yast2 that comes with v7.0 has a very useful sounding 'use entire -->> hard disk' option and in fact the helpful booklet quick installation guide -->> suggests that partioning the hard disk yourself shouldn't be attempted.

Hi all. I followed a tutorial to build my web server in the following manner : Apache 1.3.12 without DSO ....but with PHP 3.0.16 built into it statically ...AND PHP built with MySQL . I have been frantically scanning the net for information on installing Apache Jserv, and Gnu-JSP & Tjfm JDBC driver for MySQL So far .. from what i have understood... Apache Jserv can be built (statically linked ) to the Apache server....... needs recompiling Apache .. when i recompile do i have to do so with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --activate-module=src/modules/php3/li bphp3.a ( as before )? what if i want to add PHP4 support too ( in addition to PHP3 so that my existing scripts continue to run ) Which should i install first after Jserv ...JDBC driver OR GNU-JSP ? I would very much appreciate it if someone could point me to a tutorial OR even set up the sequence of steps so that i can get started... This is probably the second time i am posting this on the List... please help me !!!!

You can always proceed up to a point and see what Yast2 has done before it
actually creates the partitions. Personally, I found that I prefer Yast1 to
Yast2, but that is a personal preference.

Yes, I tried it last night. Install went fine. For anyone who is interested, it gave me a /boot partition of about 20MB, a /swap partition which was ~200Mb and one more huge partition for the rest. That was with the default minimal install option just for a test. ian -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I would say this is professional preference. YaST1 is faster more ergonomic has beter concept. YaST2 is a product of the affection to mass market. Who needs Xwindow with flicking screen at the installation time.

The "old" SuSE manuals -heck 6.4 is still state of the art in US ;-)- had some hints about partitioning, if you desperate for sizes. The option you talk about is for first tryers/newbies. I think it will generate a swap and a linux partition, most likely also a /boot. Juergen
