Mumble.
I did note that it the logic was there, but not used due to decisions made regarding Ubuntu's single CD design decision. If you install from DVD or create a custom installer (netboot, CD, whatever), this logic will come into play. > What packages' source code do I need to read to find the "all the smarts" > part? Hrm, my d-i fu is weak. It is one of the debian-installer packages, but I'm not sure which one. You might want to have a look at some of the d-i docs, or ask one of the developers. Few people actively get into this code. - Jeff -- Open CeBIT 2007: Sydney, Australia http://www.opencebit.com.au/ "Professor Tanenbaum did not convince AdTI that Linus Torvalds wrote the Linux kernel from scratch." - Ken Brown, Sponsored Moron -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
