*** Please type your report below this line *** Hi, I have been looking into preseeding and partitioning, and noticed what appears to be an omission in the example code. The example shows a nice expert recipe but does not include the line that makes the installer make use of it. A tiny patch for this is attached. Without this line in the preseed file the installer stops in its tracks and there was no way (that I could see) to select the expert recipe I had constructed.
