Arg.  Forgot about other wizard modes like ye olde sendmail wizard mode.
My apologies all...

This is during the install process when deciding what partitions to put on
the drives.  In that screen there is a wizard mode.

Hey all,

Is there any documentation on wizard mode?  I'm just wondering what the
scan function does.

A way to hack very old sendmail's.

But probably not in this case...

Well, in my case, especially when I run madly from something, wizard
mode or even better Rincewind mode, is a bit different.

But I guess we have to let Randy Schultz describe what *HE* means :)

#scan

You look around the Mazes of Menace, hoping to gain some clue about the 
mysterious wizard mode.


#engrave Elbereth

You feel safe!

Looking at the source, I would guess that it counts how many 512 byte
blocks there are on a device. It prints B: at the beginning and G: at the
end of the device, I believe. It appears to be capable of handling
multiple beginnings and ends, but I'm not sure how that works (would a
read of the full disk device, at the end of a slice, not read a full 512
bytes? I don't know.)

He's probably talking about sysinstall.
