When I decided to upgrade SuSE I first install 10.2 and realized it took a lot of time to fix the many deficiencies and get it to a point where I could start working on my project.
Your assessment of openSUSE 10.2 is somewhat discouraging. One would wonder why you even considered it, or was it just a *poor* choice of words?
So I installed 10.3 and at installation time I chose "New Installation" believing this would wipe out the hard drive so erasing 10.2 and store and install 10.3. In short, I wished to get rid of 10.2. But apparently I did not achieve my goal. In fact 10.3 is now up & running but if I click on the SuSE menu item "leave -> Start Operating System" I get the following 3 choices:
1) Start 'openSuSE 10.3- 2.6.22.12-0.1' (current) 2) Start 'Failsafe -- openSuSE 10.3 ....' 3) Start 'openSuSE 10.2 - 2.6-18.8-0.7 (/dev/sda2)'
It looks like 10.2 is still there and occupies a portion of my hard drive.
yes it does.
How can I get rid of 10.2 WITHOUT REINSTALLING 10.3 or damaging anything already working on 10.3?
open yast disk and reformat the partition containing openSUSE 10.2, sda2 then edit /boot/grub/grub.ment and delete the lines concerning 10.2
I'd like all the available disk space to be devoted to 10.3.
this *will* free the space occupied by 10.2, but will not devote it to any particular purpose. It will make the *partition* sda2 available for other use
Thank you in advance for your assistance and help
