IIRC, what you describe is the behaviour of partconf, the tool used before partman, and indeed still used for some architectures. This package is, IIRC again, still included in CDs but you need to boot with "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=mudium"for being able to choose using the "Configure and mount partitions" menu entry (we should maybe now changethis title, BTW). partconf was put aside because of the lack of friendlyness of cfdisk (which cannot be translated properly in d-i, also) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
