[Bug 289075] Re: Installer cannot reuse old partititions of OpenSUSE

[Phillip Susi]

These days the installer does have a replace option when it detects an
existing linux system, does this not work with opensuse?

Title:
  Installer cannot reuse old partititions of OpenSUSE

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am installing Kubuntu 8.10rc1 on a laptop which has two OS
  installed: Windows Vista and OpenSUSE 11. OpenSUSE 11 has three
  partititions (swap, /home and /).

  I want to use those three partititions for KUbuntu but there is no
  (easy) way to do this. I can resize the partitions, but the old
  OpenSUSE partitions take up a minimum of 5 gigabyte and cannot be
  removed completely.

  The only way I found was to switch to "manuel" and then remove all
  three partitions only to recreate them.

  I think this should be much simpler as many people would never dare to
  touch partitions manually.
