can't install 10.1 on formated ext3 partition
Yast insists on installing 10.1 hdb9 which is my backup partition as a reiser partition, whiping out my backup. hdb10 is an empty 9GIG ext3 partition where I want to install 10.1. Why can't I just install 10.1 on a ext3 partition of my choise?

Just reject it's choice and select yours. It may be expert mode (partitioning), or manual mode, or something like that. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

As Carlos said.... use the 'expert' partitioning mode. In this mode, you have to tell it everything you want done. *Which* partitions (must have been created already) you want formatted *how* and *where* you want them mounted. But you can also tell it to make up new mount points for those partitions that aren't part of the install... like data partitions, or Windows partitions. Don't tell it to format those partitions that you do not want formatted. Oh, and include a swap partition too.

You can also create new partitions. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFJs5rtTMYHG2NR9URAuXrAJ9Zy3zUshk36VKVdEMvLBVmnn/5PgCfWwH0 hmdP87z1juCtPGGxFPrySuI= =KImP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
