Jamie,
What I have found is the 10.3 install will attempt to create new partitions regardless of existing partitions, but it will number the new partitions as if the old partitions exist. Specifically if you have one disk with 2 existing partitions and one extended partition:
sda1 / sda2 /boot sda5 /home
When you install 10.3 either again or for the first time with the old install being 10.2 or something really recent, yast will propose:
sda3 / sda6 /boot sda7 /home
Which is quite annoying. When I get to the partitioning part of the install, I just click on "Partitions" choose "custom partitioning" the _delete_ all existing partitions. You can then choose "propose a new partitioning scheme" and usually yast gets it right (sda1, sda2, sda5, etc.) or you can the edit what yast "proposed" to adjust the partition sizes, etc.

Most interesting David.
I have now installed 10.3 at least 6 times and have not come across this problem you describe above.
It does occur as David described... but only if you delete some partitions on a disk, leaving others, and create some new partitions. If you delete all the partitions on the disk, you will not see the behavior. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
