Hello All,
When I tried to do an install I could not install to the partition I picked, why? I currently have 9.3 installed to /dev/hda2 (40G) with a swap and a /home. I want to do the new install and use the same swap and /home but split the 40g partition in 2 just in case I have problems so I can reinstall 9.3. What am I doing wrong? Should I boot in another mode and delete the 40G partition first?

Hi Mike Its hard to understand if you don't send all the details so I assume you have / (suse 9.3) 40gig swap /home (your stuff - docs downloads etc..) ? Run fdisk -L as root or sudo fdisk -L and mail me the output. IF you are in yast install then simply switch to the shell using keyboard strokes <ctrl><alt><FX> where (X) id the number of the function key. IIRC it was F5 Chadley
