Hi,
I finally decided to abandon Windows. Up till now, I had -as most of us I think- the choice between booting Win98 or SuSE 6.0. Since I'm upgrading to SuSE 6.3, the whole HD will be Linux. Now the question, When using Yast, I have the possibility to use the whole disk instead of partitioning. I presume it's possible to make a swap and native partition from that point. Is this correct and how does it involve the booting process ? Just hit the power switch and relax ... ?
You can use the whole disk for Linux and still paration. Some reasons why you should. It can make upgrading easier. My /home is on it's own. So worse comes to worse I can just reformat the other stuff and not worry about /home. The same thing with /usr/local. Keeping /var on it's own means if something goes crazy and fills up /var/log it won't fill up the whole system.
