Folks,
I just replaced RH 8.0 with SuSE 9.0 on my dual-boot Toshiba Satellite
1905-303 and the conversion went flawlessly. Interestingly, when I
finished, I noticed that SuSE had established several "data" partitions,
one of which sent me back to the Windows XP side of the box. Having read
about some of 9.0's greatest hits in advance of installation, I expected
that. I didn't expect the other four data partitions, which seem to
contain former Red Hat directories, including /home/~. Can someone give
me the Cliffs Notes version of what SuSE decides to preserve from an
older installation when SuSE installs? And how easy is it to return
those partitions to wider use once I've determined that I no longer need
the files they contain?
Best regards,
Pete
