That seems rather unfortunate. Is there nothing that can be done to make parted more tolerant of "dodgy" partition tables? A fallback to fdisk would be possible, but that's something we would want to avoid if it's at all feasible to do so, both from a standpoint of reducing the amount of code that has to be shipped with the installer, and providing a consistent user experience. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
