As SuSe 7.0 is imminent, I thought that I would free up a 12G partition and load mandrake 7.1 to have a look.

What it did whilst sorting out its own partition is address the SuSe 6.4 partitions as well.

When I used Partition magic to have a look at my disks post install, the Mandrake partitions were OK as Linux Ext2. However, the separate SuSe /boot /swap /root partions now appeared to be merged into 1 partition of the T85 variety. What is a T85 filesystem?

Type 85 is the Linux extended partition type. I presume your SuSE installation is at the end of the drive? Shouldn't be a problem.

On running suse everything is ok and it recognises the old partion setup I had and boots and runs fine.

Not to impressed with mandrake though - failed to install at the X-windows stage :)
