back again after a fresh install, not very happy will the "custom" partition, you are only allowed 4 primary partitions !
This isn't a suse limitation, but a limitation of the whole primary/extended architecture. In my experience (12 years with Linux) you never need more than 4 partitions:
/ [swap] /home /another_one
i always keep /another_one around for installing my OS when i do upgrades. Once i upgrade, /another_one because / and / because /another_one. That way i can always keep 2 revs of the OS around with minimal hassle.
Yes I realise that , mental screw up at this end. Personally I would prefer more physical partitions, 4 was OK in the days of hard drives that were less than 200MB, but now with drives larger than 200GB its a restriction, but that's my opinion.
