Greetings all.  I'm preparing to install OpenSuse 10.2 and have been 
browsing the web reading various installation instructions (just to make 
sure I don't go an overwrite my MBR or something else stupid) and came 
across the following...

Quote -
You will see now a summary of the Installation Settings, which comes in 
a Standard (default) and Expert (for power users) view.  I will suggest 
using an empty hard drive for this installation;  that means no other 
operating system on it, ok?  The partition process is automatic and it 
will erase all your data from the selected hard drive.
Unquote -

I have my hard drive split into two different partitions by Partition 
Magic.  Can I safely assume I may substitute "selected partition" for 
"selected hard drive" above?  I've never run into such a draconian 
warning with any other Linux distribution and I have installed several 
over the years, always with a dual boot arrangement with Windows.

Thanks in advance.

Rob
