    Thanks for your support. Things not working to plan. I partitionned as
    follows on the Yast2 formatting of sda fails

    on the internal disk sda I put
    /boot on sda1 with 295.8MB
    swap on sda2 with 706.2MB

    on the external disk sdb I put
    /usr on sdb1 with 4.1Gb
    / on sdb2 with 4.4Gb

    SILO gets installed on sda

    Any hints ?

    with External SCSI disk

    I have that exact setup. This is what I used:

    /usr on an external 9 gig
    / on another external 9gig

    I used the internal hard drives for swap, /tmp and some other directories I
    use for processing scripts.
    If I can help you let me know. I did this install 2 weeks ago and should
    still remember most of the details.
