It appears the install log wasn't saved, but indeed when I mount the drive with TRK, I now see the 12-GB drive (this is a VM) has been divided up into a 243-MB /boot, 424 MB swap, 3.33-GB /, and 8.01-GB /home, with the / partition completely full. Can the installer be corrected to partition things out more sanely on small drives like this, or at least warn after the tasksel stage that install may fail because / wasn't allocated enough space? -- Joe -- Joe Thompson | j...@orion-com.com "I'd take seven earthquakes and your computer autoinstalling a Hebrew spelling corrector that it apparently expects you're going to need as a definite sign of the coming apocalypse." -- AdB, in conversation -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
