Package: boot-floppies Version: 2.2.16-2000-07-20 Severity: wishlist Once you've chosen a disk to partition, you are unceremoniously dumped into pdisk, without any instructions as to how the program works or what you should do. It would be nice if there were some information about the number and size of partitions the user should create (how would a new user have any idea that they need at least two partitions -- root and swap, and that those partitions have to be special types, or have special names?), as well as a quick overview of the commands available within pdisk (especially how to get help, how to save the partitions they've created, and the fact that you can quit pdisk *without* disturbing your existing partitions!). It would be even better, of course, if the partitioning tool were more user-friendly, but the installer should try to make up for the weaknesses of the tools where necessary.
