If you want to realy experiment, you can still put ~/home where you want it. For me it still comes down to this: Loose my data with an upgrade, or keep it?
if you use a separate partition for home, the upgrade will use it also, so the risk is the same. I know of a friend installing suse on a windows box. to preserve it's dear windows, don't trusting suse, he went to expert mode... and wiped the disk. hopefully he was an intelligent man, learned from that and did no more the same error :-)
To access your data, last SuSE creates /dataX folders with others partition, so they are easily mounted. it's then enough to link your valuable data to any home folder.
I don't get a /dataX if I only have one HD.
but I have only one :-) I use the cheaper PC I could afford some months ago :-(. but on this 80Gb disk, I use really 10Gb permanently (the others not used or used to store cd images) by the way I probably did this manually on the first install and forget it :-( jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr
