This presumably won't affect existing partitions that are not formatted?

I haven't seen such reports. I would check the partition proposal and go with it.

I have /home on a separate partition with an encrypted [twofish256] ext3 FS and /usr/src/packages on a non-encrypted, ext3 formatted partition. I should be okay provided I'm doing an install, not an upgrade, yes?

Both should be ok if you double check the partition proposal, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
