2) How does yast determine what the source partition to mount is?
I dont understand the question What is the "source partition"?
The source partition (or the source of the installation maybe a better term) in this case is the partition that contains the distribution.
Hi Roberto, You seem to mix two concepts: the installation source(s) and the installation target(s) The source(s), recently renamed to "repositories", are where the RPMs come from. By default it is the boot CD/DVD, or whatever you specify in the boot menu or as the install=URL parameter. The source can also reside on a hard disk partition (which you'd better not format during the instalation...) The target(s) are the partitions to install the RPMs to. AFAIK there is some magic in the partitioner module to propose the root partition. In case of a distro upgrade, you get to select which of the many SUSE Linuxes on your computer you want to upgrade. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
