Public bug reported:
Using the Installer wizard on the Feisty Live/Install CD can be
extremely annoying, almost to the point of excruciating, if a custom
partition table of just a few items is requested.
For some reason the partition editor has deemed it necessary to refresh
and scan the disks after every action, whether one creating or deleting
a partition, specifying how a partition should be used, or simply
ticking the box to format the chosen filesystem.
This wouldn't be so bad /if/ the changes were taking place at that time.
However, absolutely no changes are made to the disk until the "Finish"
button on the installer is clicked and the install is underway. There is
absolutely no reason to refresh the the partition view this frequently.
It will always be as it was the last time the table was checked.
The last install I performed took me over 10 minutes just to mess with
the partitioning. This is ridiculous. GParted was confusing to some
users, but at least it didn't take forever.
