Re: why does the installer change the partition table?

The partition tables of the following devices are changed:

SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sdb)

The following partitions are going to be formatted:
partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) as swap partition #5 of SCSI1
(0,1,0) (sdb) as swap

which concern me because I don't want to lose data on sda but don't
want to back up (lotsa cd burning) at the moment.

I tried the manual approach, selected which sdb partitions I wanted
effected, but keep getting that message that the partition table for
sda has been changed. If so, I didn't intentionally change it :(

Are you trying to install the boot loader in sda and the rest of the
system on sdb?


I want the boot loader to be on sdb as sda will get repartitioned
eventually.



thanks,
