Good work on the new installer improvements. I especially like the initial user creation, as its the first thing I used to do on a new system. I just wacked in a large (by my standards) FCAL disk into my Sun; it is 136GB in size. The installer's auto-layout wanted to make relatively small root and /usr partitions (I'm assuming the minimums). Could be nice if the slice sizes "scaled up" across larger disks? Perhaps based upon a percentage of the total disk available? Just a minor thought really. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett (Freelance software developer / technical writer / open-source developer) http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett
