I think the problem is that YAST2 does not give me a "vertical scroll bar" if the list of partitions extends beyond the bottom of the screen. I say this because I can see the upper 75% of words describing the /dev/hde15 partition. Lenz, I will certainly try your suggestion to exhaust all possible solutions. Thanks in advance everyone, Matt

Hi,

I have heard great things about SuSE, so I thought I would download SuSE 6.3 and try it out.

I tried to install SuSE 6.3 yesterday night and here is my dilemma...

I have my 18GB hard drive partitioned into 20 partitions.

When selecting the SuSE partition with YAST2, I am not able to scroll down and select partition /dev/hde19. The last partition to show on the screen is /dev/hde15.

How do I work around this situation?

It seems like there are not enough entries in /dev. You might be able to create additional ones using the root shell on the second console (ALT+F2) by using the "mknod" command (if available).

Bye, LenZ
