Hi, partman no longer (since several Debian releases) supports changing of the partition size afterwards (i.e. first choose 'Guided partitioning' and then change the partition sizes via manuell editing. Or create some partitions via 'Manuell partitioning' and change the sizes afterwards again because you have wrongly calculated before). d-i manual needs an update about this. (Well, this makes the guided partitioning somewhat useless in several conditions, but that's another story ...) Patch attached. Cheers Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org>
