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.

It does. The Windows installer takes 10% of available
disk space. Or at
least it used to. Unix users should know better.
