YaST doesn't do ppc partitioning yet. You have to do that manually before installing. YaST may be used to format the Linux partitions (swap, /, /home, etc) but _NOT_ the Apple HFS types. See http://www.opensuse.org/PPC_Installation_Issues and http://www.opensuse.org/PPC:Boot_prep and http://www.opensuse.org/PPC_Partitioning for more information.
Thanks for clarification. I'm re-using existing partitions and yast now happily installs many a lot packages. Do we already have proper bugzilla entries for this issue?
