--- Comment #4 from Jim Hawking
As you already noticed the proposal has to remove one partition to make space for the installation. So the proposal is valid.
Valid yes - but stupid. Asking the user is the best answer I can come up with but failing that it would be more sensible to propose deleting the old root partition than the /home one. Yast proposes the most dangerous option. The root partition can be recreated from the DVD that is already in the drive, the /home partition is the one that contains the data that is least likely to be restorable. (I do know about backups but they are not easy with a laptop and for a novice who would not spot the fault with the proposal, are an unlikely thing to have.) Also, it has a valid swap partition on the drive. Does it really need another one? It included one in the proposal.
Generating several proposals for the user to choose is clearly a feature request.
BTW: You could have used the "Import Mount Points" function.
Thank you - I did find it and used it but you only get to it if you spot the problem with the proposal. I will not pursue this further, there are bigger bugs for sure - but I do not think you have the user friendly thing right here. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
