Re: [SLE] SUSE 9.0 Install (dumb) question

I only just read the whole post and see you have it all backed up, so going for an update is worth the try. I've not lost anything from /home or /usr/local. I have only /dev/hda1 as / and /dev/hda2 as swap. Regards Sid. Jerry Feldman wrote:

I just started a 9.0 installation on my laptop that is currently running 8.2. It told me that it could not use the existing partitions, and defaulted to /dev/hda3 (as root) and /dev/hda2 (as swap). My 8.2 system currently has /dev/hda1 as root and /dev/hda3 as home.

While I can manually override this and use the correct partitions, my concern is that my existing /home filesystem may not mount on 9.0.

Since I have this fully backed up, it does not pose a problem with the laptop, and I have no qualms about reformatting the laptop. But, it does have some bearing when I build 9.0 on my desktop system. I want to be able to mount my existing /home /usr/local and a few other filesystems.
