Is this a bug or suse limitation? When I do reinstall SUSE 10.1 I get new dev/sda6, it's look like SUSE don't delete all existing partition. I know, when I choose "expert" thre are 2 option: repair partition and bootable partition.
so, i must boot manually using MS DOS, delete all partition and reinstall SUSE :(
Not if the partitions are fine in the other OS, then just do a clean install and choose custom partitioning, choose wisely and just reformat and reinstall only /boot / and swap leaving /home(a separate partition) untouched.
base on you solution I found that we can do fresh installation, follow this steps: 1. choose New Instalation 2. choose Custom Partition, press next 3. there is an option here to "Delete entire harddisk"! the bad instruction on installation should be fixed, it's "new installation" mean "install on existing partition" which make me confuse. on other os/distro like Redhat/FC, Ubuntu and Windows, "new installation" mean "delete entire hdd and install new one". thanks Carl! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
