Hi,
Then use the "expert" form of partitioning so that it won't "auto-partition" the disk. This should allow you to continue.
Well the real problem is that when I install with a swap I have to tell it which partition to use for swap. And since the hdd isn't properly partitioned yet, I've to use /dev/hda1. And that's the only partition at that moment. After that Yast can't do a partitioning anymore, sice /dev/hda1 is in use :-( But I keep trying to find a way :-D
Use the rescue boot first to create a swap partition of a approx. 200 meg as hda1. The install should then then allow you to partition the rest of the disk. Don't touch the existing swap partition, don't format it.
That's an idea, why didn't I think of that yet :-) Must be a way to automate that as well.... hhmmm gonna play with that tomorrow...
Ps I noticed that some of other replies to other on the list did not get to the list....
Probably because you use "reply" instead of "reply to list".
Aarggghhhhh that's what you get if you have to use Outlook. My router at home crashed, so I had to use Outlook for the moment. And I didn't even look at the TO: part.... You see how much a person can learn in a day ! :-D Harmen
