Ah yes. Somehow i wasn't able to find that in the BTS (which takes some time getting used to, but i'm working on it :-) ) Shouldn't this bug have been tagged 'd-i'? > Indeed, it is in fact specific to the "multi-user workstation" > autopartitioning recipe.

Actually I found the recipe quite usefull, especially because I intended to split the rather large home partition later, using LVM. I would have loved to set up the home partition as a PV, but it seems that partman doesn't know anything about partition type 8e (Linux LVM) on bds disklables (is this a known bug, too?. If not, do you want a full bugreport?). But if you feel that "multi-user workstation" is useless and not going to be fixed, why not remove it completely? > Joey, can this be added to the RC2 errata for alpha if it isn't there already? Where would I find this arc-specific errata? I was only able to find the general one at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata thanks for your effort, Nils -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
