So I managed to get the Leap installer running from a USB stick. Did it on Fedora, even. Formatted the stick as ext4 and used live-grub-stick. It could not find grub-install which was fixed by:
# ln -s /usr/sbin/grub2-install /usr/local/bin/grub-install
Then it ran and now I have the installer. But I do not like the proposed partitioning of the new SSD. (Swap too small at 10G; with use of ext4 it also makes root too small at another 10G).
So I wenr into expert partitioner. But I want LVM and I'm unable, so far, to get LVM.
I have created a primary partition /dev/sda1 for /boot and an extender partition /dev/sda2. I used all of the extended partition for an LVM partition which is /dev/sda5.
But how can I make this expert partitioner thing add a volume group and then actual volumes to the LVM partition? When I go to Volume Management, I only see the existing LVM group on the HDD and seem to have no way to add a volume on the SSD.
Or do I need to partition the SSD from the command line and only then use the installer, just because I want LVM and do ont like the proposed settings?
The "Expert Partitioner" on http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtSugPrt422-0768.jpg is a misnomer. To reach genuinely expert partitioning you need "Create Partition Setup" so that you can choose "Custom Partitioning (for experts)": http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtCreate422-0768.jpg and then http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtExpert422-0768.jpg -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
