This is what happens… If the installer sees there are no partitions on the target hard drive, it tells fdisk to automatically partition the drive. The installer neither knows nor cares the size or number of partitions that will be created. It just tells fdisk to auto-partition the drive. If there is a command line option to perform automatic partitioning using a single big partition, I am unaware of it. If multiple 2GB partitions isn’t acceptable, you can partition the drive by hand before installing. The installer will see the usable partition and not attempt to re-partition the drive. > It is a bit like if it was my hard disk that was cut in 2 GB chunks rather > than the USB FreeDOS image. > > I'll mark the laptop for future tests... like FreeDOS install on random > erased disk.
