I haven't had the opportunity to try any 9.0 prereleases, so please forgive me if my suggestions have already been implemented. These suggestions are based on 8.2.
Firstly, the only editor I could find when booted to the rescue CD is VIM. I think that's a big mistake. Most people (especially newbies) don't understand VIM, and nor do they want to. For these people I think Jed would be the best choice, since it is like MS-DOS Edit and isn't too far removed from GUI editors like Nedit and Gedit. Secondly, can the rescue disc please include cfdisk instead (or in addition to) fdisk? Cfdisk is far easier to understand and use. I haven't used the rescue disc in a while, so sorry if cfdisk is already there. Thirdly, would it be possible to make the rescue disc and installation kernels to automatically detect software RAID from superblocks? That would make installation and configuration MUCH easier. Fourthly, can you please make Diskdrake to more clearly represent extended and logical partitions in the GUI? At present, logical partitions look the same as primary ones, and the extended partition isn't shown at all. This is confusing. PartitionMagic does a good job here: it shows extended partitions as a primary partition but places logical partitions as boxes _inside_ the extended. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place." -- Douglas Adams
