Package: debian-installer Version: Lenny RC1 Severity: wishlist I've used the Lenny RC1 guided partitioner on two laptops to make an encrypted LVM and chosen separate /home partition on each. On a 320GB drive it allocated only 6.6 GB for / and on a 100GB drive it appears it will allocate 7.0 GB for /. I would have preferred more space for the root filesystem. The user is not told these decisions prior to accepting the initial partitioning step. At a minimum, these numbers should be shown prior to acceptance of the initial partitioning step. Even better would be to have them shown and to allow the user to modify them up or down to suit their preferences. I know that manual partitioning is provided, but an ever-so-slightly modified Guided partitioning would be even more user friendly.
