-- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C This is based on Test Candidate 1 for the i386 Sarge installer. The iso file was downloaded 6/12/04 Here's the issue. I use a 3rd party program to partition my disks (Bootit NG), and wish to completely skip the Debian partitioning step, and just move on to simply selecting and formatting existing partitions for root, swap etc. With the old installer I was always able to do this with no problem. With the new installer, I can't find a way to do the following (as an example): 1) Leave my partition table(s) completely alone - don't touch them 2) Format /dev/hda3 and use it as root partition 3) Format /dev/hda5 and use it as the swap partition 4) Continue with installation I tried manual partitioning and both expert and normal modes. It always comes down to complaining that no root partition has been designated. I'd be happy to designate it, but I can't find where to do it. And it won't let me get past the partitioning step without it. What is need is a menu choice right up front as follows: Skip partitioning and designate existing partitions to use. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
