Re: [coLinux-users] Installing SuSE 10

[danny s. <ori...@gm...>]

Suse 10 has a custom partitioning option. You go custom, and then
custom again (instead of selecting the hard drive), and you can fully
customise the setup. You could then tell it what to mount, and not to
partition or format it.

I have done a Suse 10 install recently on a virgin machine - and I do
remember this aprt of the setup as I wanted to reorder the setup (too
small a swap partition in my opinion).
