Greetings all. I'm preparing to install OpenSuse 10.2 and have been
browsing the web reading various installation instructions (just to
make sure I don't go an overwrite my MBR or something else stupid) and
came across the following...

You will see now a summary of the Installation Settings, which comes
in a Standard (default) and Expert (for power users) view. I will
suggest using an empty hard drive for this installation; that means
no other operating system on it, ok? The partition process is
automatic and it will erase all your data from the selected hard drive.

I have my hard drive split into two different partitions by Partition
Magic. Can I safely assume I may substitute "selected partition" for
"selected hard drive" above? I've never run into such a draconian
warning with any other Linux distribution and I have installed several
over the years, always with a dual boot arrangement with Windows.
Thanks in advance.

Well...I attempted to install once again tonight and was confronted with
the following Installation Summary:
* Delete logical volume /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 (68.8 gb)
*Delete logical volume /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 (1.9 gb)
*Remove volume group VolGroup00
*Delete partition /dev/sda2 (101.9 gb)
*Delete partition /dev/sda3 (70.8 gb
*Delete partition /dev/sda5(? hard to read on the screen) (70.8 gb)
Needless to say, I did not procede further with the installation. :(
