Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: graeme@argyllcms.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080313 SeaMonkey/1.1.9 Using openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso Trying to install on an existing logical partition on a multi-OS, multi-boot system. Select "Create Partition Setup" and then "Custom Partioning" to use the existing partitioning. Two problems result: 1) It is not obvious how to specify which partition to install on. I guess you have to nominate it by specifying it to be the "/" mount point ? 2) After doing this, the partitioning summary doesn't indicate where the installation will be to. This makes it difficult to proceed with the installation with any confidence that it is not about to install over an existing OS. A summary that indicate what partitions will be written to (including MBR if that is enabled) is very important in confirming that the installation will be safe. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt installation using an existing logical partition 2. 3. Actual Results: It is unclear where the installation will be written to, and what else will be touched. Expected Results: Installer should indicate clearly where the installation will be written to, and what other areas of the disk will be touched by the installation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
