I must have accidentally told it to do an upgrade rather than a fresh install because my and my wife's folders were still present.
I don't think you did something wrong. If a previous installation of opensuse was present, the installer formatted / and kept /swap and /home.
I will write later about my experience with installing 11.0 on a desktop machine that users an nvidia card. It will be about user complexity in trying to figure out which of the nvidia entries are correct as I obviously choose the wrong one and lost my graphics.
There are two choices ( http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA ): recent and legacy cards. Just check the card list and select the appropriate driver :-) Regards, Alberto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
