Hi, As SuSe 7.0 is imminent, I thought that I would free up a 12G partition and load mandrake 7.1 to have a look. What it did whilst sorting out its own partition is address the SuSe 6.4 partitions as well. When I used Partition magic to have a look at my disks post install, the Mandrake partitions were OK as Linux Ext2. However, the separate SuSe /boot /swap /root partions now appeared to be merged into 1 partition of the T85 variety. What is a T85 filesystem? On running suse everything is ok and it recognises the old partion setup I had and boots and runs fine. Not to impressed with mandrake though - failed to install at the X-windows stage :) Stu -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
