YaST doesn't do ppc partitioning yet. You have to do that manually before installing. YaST may be used to format the Linux partitions (swap, /, /home, etc) but _NOT_ the Apple HFS types. See
I thought that was fixed in the 10.0/release. I have been able to partition on my old world macs with no problems. However, I have found that if YaST attempts to format a partition with HFS that it will fail(normally, it attempts to create a 40MB /boot partition with HFS). Usually, I set 2 partitions, a swap and a / with Reiser and it partitions and formats with no problems..... I haven't tried any of the 10.1 pre-releases since Alpha 1, which refused to install. I also do not have access to any new world macs. Further, I am only installing and partitioning drives attached to an Adaptec 2940U2W controller, not the onboard MESH or NCRs. Perhaps it has to do with an IDE problem? ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
