OK so I will be able to do a clean install and set up my partitioning without 
the extended partion later.  As for sda6, it looks like it is a copy of "/" 
this is what I found in it:

.   bin   dev  home  lost+found  mnt  proc  sbin  success  tmp  var
..  boot  etc  lib   media       opt  root  srv   sys      usr  windows

I did have SUSE 10.2 installed on that machine before, but I did a clean 
install of 10.3, or what I thought was a clean install...  is a "non clean 
clean install" even possable short of upgrading?
