No, Bob is correct: when upgrading (not fresh install) the partitioner can not be activated; YaST simply installs to the root filesystem it finds and which you select. The only leeway is that you can go to a terminal and mount/umount extra partitions, and perhaps use fdisk/mkfs on the console (I've never tried that).
Too bad. Out of probably a dozen installs, I've only ever done one upgrade. I guess this just adds to the conventional wisdom that plain installs are preferable to upgrades.
You do not need to create/modify partitions when you do an upgrade: the system is already installed, the partitions are the same you have already. In fact, you do not change (almost) anything of the configuration. In the case you do need to change the partitioning, you can do them on the previous version of the system, using the tools you have. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
