I had succeeded in installing the system in partitions that I had made using DFSee
I don't know this one
An extremely useful utility. You might find its website interesting:
I also made three partitions, for Swap (typr 82), Root and Home (both type 83).
did you save your work? seems not
I did indeed, as shown by the fact that the newly made partitions are on the HD, exactly as I intended them to be.
When the installer proposes partitioning, it doesn't see the
partitions I
have made,
I think there is a "read partition table" option and a "read fstab" one (here probably different)
although I know they are there.
and hox do you knox this? what tool give you the info? Give us the output
DFSee sees them. It couldn't see them if they were not there. Before I made the new partitions, I deleted all the previous ones, after which DFSee saw that the HD was all free space.
What do I have to do to get it to forget the past and live in the present?
as somebody else said, why don't you use YaST installer to do the partitionning?
Among other reasons, because I want to know why the installer has retained partition information that isn't there anymore, and where it is storing obsolete information. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
