I understand this, so why is the Yast partitioner in openSUSE using these obsolete terms instead of just displaying sectors?
Even worse I've yet to find a formula to convert the cylinders that YaST shows to sectors.

No idea, its time to stop even talking about them as far as I'm concerned. If you create an openFATE entry to update the Yast Partitioner that way, I'l certainly vote for it. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
