Package: debian-installer Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: alx.manpa...@gmail.com
Dear maintainer, when installing Debian, it's painful to size the partitions. I want them to be aligned with certain boundaries, and want them to have very specific sizes (usually, multiples of 1 GiB), but the default partitioning program doesn't allow that. fdisk or gdisk provide a much better way of specifying such things by allowing one to specify initial sector and size in several formats. Please add such semantics to the default program, or include fdisk and gdisk in the installer. I usually format disks from a live system with those tools, and later run the installer on the formatted disk, because I hate how it formats disks. Thanks, Alex -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
