Hi,
My bad.. apparently I picked US for country instead of NL. Not being
able to set timezone to UTC or independent of country selection seems
weird though.

Hi,
I wanted to install without a swap partition as I gave the machine 5 GB of

However, the installer doesn't give me an option to resize suggested

Hi,
Could swap be put at the begin instead of at the end of a disk?
It's better for performance and it allows one to resize the / partition without
touching the swap one.

Please see the example in the development version of the manual

We should handle the situation where partman-auto/disk is preseeded but
partman-auto/method is not more gracefully though.
Why doesn't it just use the default if it's not preseeded?
