No.  I ran my first installation manually and let SuSe make all the
decisions about partitioning the HD.   I just accepted the defaults.
Then at the end of the installation, it asked me if I wanted to clone
this install for Autoyast, and it said "yes".  I'm pretty sure I put
that info in my first email.

So then I booted the newly-installed box and retrieved the
autoyast.xml file.   That's when the troubles began.   It would not
even run this on the same PC.

But if that odd partitioning scheme also seems odd to you, then I'm
guessing that when I just let SuSe do her thing, that she saw the
previous Linux installation on there (whatever flavour it was) and did
not blow it away.   But that's just a guess - I'll have to do some
experimenting to get to the bottom of it.
