This I have to assume works. What I was referring to was all the popup windows that synaptic uses, the contents of are NOT copy/paste able. This morning I am attepting to format and make ready a disk for a new wheezy install. But not I find the installer, even in the expert mode, will not allow the partitioner to be bypassed, nor can the do not use shown when a partition is selected, be changed to use this one for (fill in the blank, like "/boot" or "/". So the so-called expert installer mode is still dumber than a rock. Is there a magic key that will let me do this? The last wheezy install, on this same disk, blew it, every partition start AND stop wasn't aligned properly. Thanks.
