The "old" SuSE manuals -heck 6.4 is still state of the art in US ;-)- had some hints about partitioning, if you desperate for sizes. The option you talk about is for first tryers/newbies. I think it will generate a swap and a linux partition, most likely also a /boot. Juergen
The new Yast2 that comes with v7.0 has a very useful sounding 'use entire hard disk' option and in fact the helpful booklet quick installation guide suggests that partioning the hard disk yourself shouldn't be attempted. I was just wondering what partitions yast2 would make for me by default if I selected the 'use entire hard disk' option and pointed it to my newly installed 18Gb harddisk. Would it make separate partitions for /boot, /swap and /home? Anyone have any idea?
thanks,
