Using expert setup the default drive partitioner loses information when you finish partitioning and then go back to it again. For example, setup the partition table listed above and then select "Done". Back at the main menu reselect partition setup. The partition sizes are preserved but the mount information is gone (if you select "Done" at this point d-i will complain that there is not root partition). Also although the file systems are show on the main screen when you select a partition for editing it goes back to "Do not use". So each time you revisit the partition manager you have to redo all of the file systems and mount points. This also happens if you select "Configure LVM" from the main partition screen and then change your mind and go back. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
