Wow, that's very thorough. I particularly like the partitioning suggestions, since that seems to be the hardest thing to explain, and Partman (that's what's in the new installer right?) feels uncomfortable. Switching from GParted to Partman resulted in a more geeky interface, IMO. I partition with GParted before starting the installer to avoid having to use Partman now, but that thing where the live system auto-mounts the partitions after you make them (which you showed in there) is really annoying since it often fails on making the filesystem because of it (I'm always racing to unmount the partitions as fast as possible). <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 7, 2008 2:16 PM, Thorsten Wilms <<a href="mailto:t_w_@freenet.de">t_w_@freenet.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi!
