Hi guys I used Partition Commander 8 to establish the partitioning I needed for the install of SuSE 8.2. I don't know if any of you found the same problem of conflicts between partition software - in my case PC8 - and linux bootloader (GRUB)- but I found it essential to uninstall PC8 after configuration of the partitions and prior to the installation of SuSE 8.2. I learnt this the hard way having to reinstall all the software!! Not sure if this will help you with your install. Humvee On Tue, 2004-01-06 at 01:38, mjt wrote:

..................................... is well understood,
there are many other variables at work which complicates matters. and each vendor is free to interpret how THEY want to deal with a drive and partitioning it.
