I have tryed about ten different times, with no complete install. I have to use Knoppix and fdisk to delete partitions that previous install created. is there a easier way to delete the partitions at the beginning of Installation. All suse wants to do is keep adding additional partitions, if you don't delete the old ones from previous Install attempts. Thanks

When you get to the area of setting partitions, etc., click on the title Partitions where you can continue to Expert/Custom partitioning.

Yes, I have been there,but when you delete old partitions you have to enter new ones before you can leave the partitioning and save. Setting up new partitions using cyclinders x 512 is to time consuming, it's easier to use Knoppix and fdisk to delete partitions.

Jim, next time when system is analyzed and you see Installer proposal try to click on Partitioning link. Use selections that does not include SUSE proposal, not even based on SUSE proposal. First screen whatever option looks more custom, second the same. That should bring you to expert partitioning tool where you have all partitions listed and you can resize, delete, accept present status, format new and reformat old partitions. Pretty much all possible tools that one wants. That worked this way up to SUSE 10.0, with 10.1 you have expert tab at the top, maybe you have to select that to get to the screen with all tools and all partitions listed. For me it is pretty much routine and I remember "First screen whatever option looks more custom, second the same". If that doesn't help I call uncle Dagobert and he solves the problem. You can post here and I'll ask him when is in a good mood ;-) -- Regards, Rajko.
