I read it again and I have a doubt.


...

evaluating root partition
select for update*
empty box
check show all partitions
select openSUSE 10.2 /dev/hdc3 i386 linux native (ext3) /
for updating
click next


So, I assume the root partition is /dev/hdc3.
Actually root partition is /dev/hda3
I must have made a typo - sorry.

Box with the following message:
*The partition /dev/hda4 could not be mounted
mount: you must specify filesystem type
if you are sure that the partition is not needed by the installation
click on continue

However, the message refers to /dev/hda4. What is /dev/hda4?

/dev/hda4 boot
/dev/hda1 swap
/dev/hda2 opt
/dev/hdb1 usr
/dev/hdb2 var
/dev/sdb2 home

I have other partitions but they can be ignored. As you can see all are
important and none are encrypted.

Thanks again

Dave
