Further on this. As mentioned, I want to convert the system to UEFI. When I create partitions, I'm limited to 4 primary partitions. I thought UEFI was supposed to eliminate that barrier. However, even though I create the /boot/efi partition, it still remains. If I don't create that partition, I get an error message about the system might not be able to boot. What is the way out of this? Is it necessary to wipe the disk clean and start from scratch? It's not about UEFI booting, it's about GPT partitioning as opposed to MBR. And yes, you would have to wipe the disk.
That's what I figured. However, this should be better explained during the install. As it is, one might go ahead and wind up with a non-bootable system. A bit more text in that warning message would go a long way to helping someone understand what's happening.
One other thing I've noticed is swap can be a maximum of 2 GB. I previously had 8 and until I wiped the disk, I was able to select that size. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
