Hi If You want to install plain out-of-the-box SuSE, just accept the default values, and don't care about partitions. I believe that Yast2 did repartition Your hard disk..? Usually /dev/hdx1 is the /boot, /dev/hdx2 is swap, and /dev/hdx3 is / (root-fs). These setting are adequate for a "normal" user. Main thing is that it is working :-) Jaska.

I tried installing w2k a few days ago, and something, during installation something messed up my partition table. Nothing worked after, so, I used yast1 to make 3 logical partitions, and used yast2 to install suse. When I tried to use fdisk I saw that I did not have any logical partitions anymore? I don't exactly know the difference between the kinds of partitions. Should I care what kind of partitions yast2 made?

thanks in advance,

Jan-Willem
