Hi everyone!

Just tried installing Mandrake 8.2 ppc beta, but when it comes to
partioning, both in graphical and text mode, it says that:
There's not enough space for the bootstrap.
There are no partions on my disk.

Went to the installer-console, and tried fdisk, and it said kindof the same
thing...

Pdisk however, found all my partions!

Could it be that the installer is using fdisk? In that case: why? Pdisk
seems to be working alot better!

Been running Debian 3.0 for some time now, but I decided I wanted to try out
KDE 3.0 and XFree 4.2 and I don't want to wait for debian..

Here's a printout from pdisk in MacOS:
