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.
