New installation of 11.0 a3. Update after configuration of repositories. Machine: VirtualBox running in 32 bit openSUSE 10.3 on Athlon 64. Virtual Memory: 512 MB (further:memory) Virtual Hard disk: 2x 8 GB (further:hard disk, HD) Known bug where installation stops on hard disk probe and known workaround: boot parameter 'hwprobe=-parallel,-misc.par' Installation looks super until it comes to partitioning. Case: Multiple Linux installations or partitions and no more space on hard disk. HD1 was Alpha2 installation. HD2 was valid 10.3 installation. Proposal: Delete existing and create new partitions on HD2. It would be good, if installer discovers 2 Linux installations, to ask which one should be used for installation, instead to propose something just to fill in this part of proposal. Blindly assuming may ruin user work. In this case that would happen by deleting valid 10.3 installation, instead of Alpha2. Though, reversed proposal is not good either as it is possible that I want to keep Alpha2 to check differences. Assuming that installation on second disk is not important, is not good as I can test different distros, and one on HD1 can be the one that I want to overwrite. There is more similar use cases. This can't be decided automatically and user that has 2 Linux installations and no more free space on hard disk knows which one is installation target. No one else in the world can tell that for him. Solution: Ask before you give proposal. This will help openSUSE to prevent user from accidental deletion his data. -- Regards, Rajko.
