So I installed 10.3 and at installation time I chose "New Installation" believing this would wipe out the hard drive so erasing 10.2 and store and install 10.3. In short, I wished to get rid of 10.2. But apparently I did not achieve my goal.
if you installed by default, it's a good thing if openSUSE don't delete any pré-installed partition...
1) Start 'openSuSE 10.3- 2.6.22.12-0.1' (current) 2) Start 'Failsafe -- openSuSE 10.3 ....' 3) Start 'openSuSE 10.2 - 2.6-18.8-0.7 (/dev/sda2)'
you have the same at boot time on the screen :-) this mean 10.2 was on /dev/sda2 * to get rid of the entry *in the menu*, go to yast and look for the entry about boot manager and delete the 10.2 entry (or go to /boot/grub/men.lst and remove the 10.2 entry by hand - with vi) * go always in yast to the disk partitionner et remove /dev/sda2. this will wipe out 10.2. after that you can always attribute the free disk space to whatever thing you want, for example mount it in /media/data and stire there your important data. You can even link this folder to your home... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/10/27/127022-Claire-Dodin-une-Toulousai... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
