    problem with installing suse 9.2

    i was installing linux suse 9.2 but some packages in cd 1 wasnt installed and i click i clicked ignore.specially last 40 packages.first name of most of them was yaST.and after that it was restarted and it asked login name and password and i couldnt install other cds .Im sure problem isnt from CD
    maybe my partitions are the problem.this is the list in the partitioning in install time

    dev/hda 76.3 Gb
    dev/hda1 19.0 Gb win 95 fat32 lba
    dev/hda2 57 Gb extended
    dev/hda5 18.8 Gb win 95 fat32 lba
    dev/hda6 8.4 Gb Hpfs/NTFS -------------drive E in windows
    dev/hda27 603.9 Linux swap
    dev/hda8 8.2Gb linux native
    dev/hda9 21.0 Gb Hpfs/Ntfs -----------my drive F in windows


    I resized drive E and empty 9.2 Gb but I feared to move drive f and i formated with swap and ext3 by partition magic you can see hear

    That's a very bad thing. If packages couldn't install this means you likely have a hosed system right now and no amount of partition-wrangling is going to fix it. I would recommend that you reinstall, and do so with a newer version of SuSE. 9.2 is several years old. The newest SuSE out there is openSuSE 10.1, available here:

    No, but generally speaking your chances of having the install work are better with a newer distribution.
