OK I know where everything is presentlybut if you are doing an upgrade you never get to see the partioner. It just supplies you with this incorrect information.
That is not true. Use the fancy / full-feature partitioner, not the "we know what's best for you" mode.
No, Bob is correct: when upgrading (not fresh install) the partitioner can not be activated; YaST simply installs to the root filesystem it finds and which you select. The only leeway is that you can go to a terminal and mount/umount extra partitions, and perhaps use fdisk/mkfs on the console (I've never tried that).
Too bad. Out of probably a dozen installs, I've only ever done one upgrade. I guess this just adds to the conventional wisdom that plain installs are preferable to upgrades.
