Actually, the configuration utility does do this, but the installer does not. As of now, the installer does not call up the configuration screen automatically, so the default of 256M is used. If the user never goes into the configuration utility, the default in freenet.ini will not be increased. If the installer is supposed to set the store to 10% of free space, then I'd have to say it's broken.

The Windows installer takes 10% of available disk space. Or at least it used to. Unix users should know better. > the free space on the disk and then give the user the > option to change it.
