Hi,

1st time Linux installer...have some questions/confusion on HD
partitioning:
Currently, I've Winxp Pro on master (w/no partition) & going to
install Suse on slave (w/ 4 partitions):
1. 9.7GB, Linux Native (/dev/hda1)
2. 20.0GB, HPFS/NTFS (/dev/hda5)
3. 46.8GB, HPFS/NTFS (/dev/hda6)
4. 4.9 MB, Unassigned.

Q1: During installation,I choose custom partitioning & selected slave
drive.
On Slave drive, need to choose one of the 1-4 above choices and I
choose#1
(Linux Native) and i hit next but then it says "Selection is
invalid: you
must start your selection w/ the highest numbered list entry". I
tried
other options but none works individually; however, when I choose
the
entire HD (1-4) then it goes through ... what is going on here???

Q2: Even if i select 1-4 on slave and erase everything but along w/
that it
also says the following:
. Create Swap partition 1006.0MB (on /dev/hda1)
. Create root partition 75.7 GB (/dev/had2 w/ reiser)
. Set mount point of /dev/hdb1 to Windows/C
What exactly is it doing? By any chance is it messing w/ my
Master HD?

Ans to the above Questions, an "installation guide link" would be
helpful
to.

Thanx a Linuxcillion in advance,
Bye.

Why do you *multipost* ??
You have posted the exact same drivel to alt.linux.suse also, Kerke

And why do you keep nymshifting like mad? Stay in cola, if you absolutely
most post your inane drivel in a linux group. You have no business invading
regular groups as well as cola *and* comp.sys.mac.advocacy
