OK - finally made a bootable 10.1 iso and got my IBM B50 ppc box to boot from it. I have to run YaST in text mode however and I've gotten to the point of partitioning. Because my 9.1GB SCSI HDD was previously partitioned by AIX with LVM it appears that the SuSE installer won't tough it. It requires me to use the Expert mode of the partitioning to manually do it. Shouldn't be a problem, but no matter what combination I try it will NOT accept my setting when I use the "Finish" button. I am trying to partition similar to the following: 1st partition is the boot partition (/boot) 2nd partition is the swap partition (swap) 3rd partition is a reiser mounted (/) Can someone familiar with this PLEASE recommend the "expert" settings I should use or could use to assign the entire HDD to the SuSE install??? Any/All suggestions/recommendations appreciated. Signed: frustrated LX'er
