I just installed an 11.1 and was surprised it wanted to delete my /home partition, make a new extended partition there and install 11.1 in that. I also have two swap partitions and two Linux partitions. It offered to leave those alone. So I am guessing it looked for a partition that was not swap or did not already have a linux installed, and offered to put it there. My intention was to overwrite one of the linux installs (Caldera 2.4!). Anyway, if I had not been careful, I would have lost my /home as well.
FWIW, my /home is located on a removable drive. So, I just unplug the drive containing /home, prior to the install. After the install, I just plug the drive back in and mount it on /home. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
