Personally, I've only ever had success doing "fresh" installations on truly clean partitions (not just "formatted" during installation, but wiped first.)
But wiped too? That's just overkill. The only report I've heard recently of anything approaching needing a "wipe" was when the Windows NTFS formatter left a reiserfs superblock intact on disk. Even then, zeroing out a single block fixed the problem. Otherwise, as far as the installer and kernel are concerned, the file system is gone if it's been formatted over. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHNyorLPWxlyuTD7IRAjUAAJ42R+mZ7WfXvKGgCj65eBEPPICi9ACgiaqg btF4DiN7A2fDhFsp5j++X08= =0iIE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
