[09-17-06 16:05]: I'm running the Yast partitioning tool from the 10.0 boot DVD. The section of the settings for specifying the mount point of a partition is greyed out for all the partitions. If I try to save the table I get a message:
Yast2 needs a root partition to install. Assign the mount point "/" to a partition.
I have a perfectly fine root partition (it even has a "root" label) but Yast won't let me assign a mount point to it or to any other one either.
Why are the mount points greyed out and what can I do about it?
simple, "/" /= "/root"
root user and filesystem root are two different aminiaminals
Indeed they are different animals -- but how does that knowledge let me ungrey the mount points? Paul
