Use redhat to get the partion scheam you want then do the install using those partions , just sprecify how to mount them ect..

I tried that. Yast uses fdisk to read the partition information, but on mys system that always fails. Yast interprets this as an attempt to install on an empty disk. It won't permit me to use the existing partitions, it will only offer the option of repartitioning and using the whole disk.

Did you choose Custom partitioning? If you did and the installation still will not allow you to proceed then there is something wrong with your partition table. Also with the KT7 you must have your drive connected to the standard IDE channel you can not use it in SuSE if it is connected to the ATA100 channel. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.
