Thanks for the help!  He is a total linux newbie, I don't have access to
a SuSE machine, and I've pretty much forgotten how yast2 works.  So,
knowing that the partition in question would be /dev/hdb1, I thought it
would be easier to edit the file myself and email it back to him.  But if
there's a straightforward option in the GUI tool, maybe I'll try to coach
him thru it on the phone.
