Bug#435767: debian-installer: inconsistent size abbreviations when partitioning
Quoting Frédéric Brière ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Package: debian-installer Severity: minor When d-i asks for the size of a partition, the blurb says that K, M and G are allowed as abbreviations, but the default size has a GB appended to it. (Or maybe it's the opposite -- you get the idea.) Now, it would not surprise me one bit to learn that d-i is smart enough to recognize both G and GB (and GiB, I bet), but it'd be best to consistently stick with one style. Users love consistency. :) Hmmm, I do not find in which place one finds this message explaining abbreviations, except in partman-lvm. Were you setting up a LVM system? signature.asc Description: Digital signature
