Description Craig Offin 2005-09-24 01:06:50 UTC 
During the installation process, regardless as to whether an automated or a custom partitioning of the 
disk is selected, the installer creates an MS-DOS partition table on a Mac.  Partitions in Apple style 
partition tables are not visible in the custom partitioning section.

This prevents splitting a drive to run MacOS X on one partition and SuSE Linux on another.

Comment 2 Thomas Fehr 2005-09-26 13:42:24 UTC 
AFAIK this is done by your install scripts.
Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2006-03-04 21:07:14 UTC 
yes, by the ycp scripts.

Please attach y2log files.
Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2006-03-13 19:42:16 UTC 
currently it is not possible to use 'whole disk'. sles10 logs are in bug #157015, where I tried first to use whole disk (just for a test), and then I did something else. this bug was about 10.0.
Comment 6 Thomas Fehr 2006-03-14 19:02:09 UTC 
If this is for 10.0 it is obsolete.
