I would like to try it and still keep my Mandrake 7.2 installed.As far as i can tell from a glance at the reference guide, Suse will resize windows partitions but not linux by default Suse will try to take over other linux partitions unless you have free space on your drive in which case it will reside in the empty space however there is a fairly comprehensive manual partitioning setup so i can't say for certain that it is not possible, tell ya what monday i will install mandrake 7.2 on a test machine at work and throw suse at it see what happens :) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe
. I have got an empty partition (if I may call it that) on my harddrive. Although I have a windows partition I do not need to resize it. ------fdisk output---- Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 261 2096451 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 262 4865 36981630 5 Extended /dev/hda5 262 521 2088418+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 522 903 3068383+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 904 1045 1140583+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda8 1046 1682 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hda9 1683 2204 4192933+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda10 2205 2335 1052226 83 Linux ----------------------
From the fdisk output above I see that I have 20GB empty space - plenty
for another Linux install. I would like to avoid installing Suse over Mandrake. Thanks -- Andrew Rogers http://www.rogerstech.co.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
