Bug 129665

Situation:  
I finished the installation of SuSE Linux 10.0 OSS edition on one computer. 
  
Plan:  
Resize root partition to accomodate for additional partitions.  
  
Problem:  
Resizing not possible using YaST System Repair's "partitioner" module.  
  
Reproduce:  
Boot System Repair (boot install CD, select "Advanced", select "Expert Tools")  
Select partition to resize. Click "Change size" (Größe ändern) at bottom of  
screen. Select size to be resized to.  
Select OK. Read warning about resizing ReiserFS being experimental.  
Acknowledge warning.  
The list of partitions shows the resized partition's new size (in my case, 52G  
instead of 75G).  
Click "Finish" at bottom right.  
  
Problem:  
YaST shows an error that says it needs a root mountpoint for installation.  
But I don't want to install anything! And you cannot specify a root partition 
at all in the partitioner, reformatting the partition (if you edit the 
partition's settings, the "Mountpoint" input field is inactive). 
  
This does not make sense in the repair system, only during installation.  
  
Suggested fix:  
Do not require mount points to be specified when YaST's partitioner is called  
from within the rescue system.  
  
I attached an archive /var/log and some screenshots for your enjoyment. :-)  
  
Please investigate. I would like to master a new SuSE 10.0 OSS boot/install CD  
and DVD which includes fixes for this bug and Bug 117691  
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=117691) when this has been fixed.  
  
Thank you!
