Hi Ross:

I've used YDL for a long time, my experience has been that as long as
the partition structure remains present and good enough for Anaconda to
recognize and write to it, there is no reason to fret.  All those other
preparatory steps you did the first time around should be uneccessary.

Anaconda will see the partitions created during the last install of YDL
5 and write over it as it proceeds to install YDL6, if you allow it to
do so.  Mucking about in manipulating the partitions themselves and
removing prior data is possible of course, but uneccessary as the
available space will be utilized for YDL 6.

Good Luck...
