------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-13 12:45 ------- To activate expert mode, you simply click on the "expert mode" button at the bottom of the dialog box. It's not hidden. If you wish to test it, start the install and choose to make custom partitions. I didn't lose any data when I canceled the install, so it gave me a chance to test this feature. I'll let the maintainer speak up if he wishes to give the reasons for expert/normal mode differences. Personally, I think that it's a reasonable way of doing it. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: REOPENED creation_date: description: During partitioning, the "Size in MB" slider should also have a text field so the user can type in the exact size of the partition. For example, I'm currently installing to a VM in VMware, giving it 512 MB of RAM. I'd like to double that for the swap space, for 1024 MB of swap (1 GB). Selecting this with the slider is somewhat tedious as I have to use very tiny movements for the mouse. Being able to type it in, in addition to being able to select it with the slider, would be useful. Shouldn't be difficult either, as there's already a non-modifiable text field above the slider, showing the "Size in MB:". It should be fairly easy to make this text field into a modifiable text field, and link its value to the slider. (I've done such things in Windows, but am fairly new to Linux.) This is Mandrake 9.1 beta 2.
