Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think I have a second extended partition, and I don't see any sda3 or sda4 in the fdisk table I sent you. They are fictions. The question of sharing Swap doesn't arrive now; it will when I install additional OS(s).
didn't you quote YaST installer, with 160Go partitions? it's there that sda3 and 4 could have been used
But I have already showed that there are no sda3 or sda4. They are figments of a diseased BIOS (if not of the installer, which I doubt). They don't exist. You saw the fdisk table.
Stan, they are PROPOSED partitions. They don't exist YET. As jdd pointed out, your sda1+sda2 partition does not occupy the entire disk, so when YaST comes along to try to automatically propose a partitioning scheme, it doesn't touch whatever you've got allocated, instead it tries to use the unallocated/unpartitioned space.
Please see the message I posted a few minutes ago, showing the arrangement thatthe installer made during installation. It added its own three partitions, overlapping the ones that I approved. It told me it was going to do that, and there was not way to stop it.
My last posting in this saga - I'm beginning to doubt if you're actually reading what everyone is writing.
I'm sincerely very sorry you feel that way, and hope you will change our mind.. Of course I have read every message in the thread, including yours. At the same time, I am interleaving the reading with trying to manipulate what I see. I appreciate every remark, and have responded to nearly every one.
