Hi folks,

platform: B/W G3.

I have an already existing linux distro installed on a second
SCSI drive and tried to install YDL 2.0 on an IDE drive.
This was not possible as the installer finds the already existing
linux partitions and probably thinks you are trying an upgrade.
The problem occurs at mount partition time as it tries to mount
the newly created partitions on the drive where your first linux
distrib is.
So what you will have to do is simply (!) unplug the drive
where your first linux distribution lives. Re-launch the install...
miracle, it works...
Could you devel guys try to enable a dual linux install?

Bye
