Package: partman-auto Severity: normal I tried installing the last beta1 on a system with already installed W2K partitions (3 primary partitions) and 8.2GB free space.
When arriving at the "Guided partitioning" step, I did choose "Use the largest free space" option which seems to be the most usual case of a Windows user having freed enough space and his system to be able to install linux and finally See The Light (we used to call such user "Bob User" in the past. However, partman-auto then complained that "the chosen disk or free space are probably too small for the automated partitioning to take place". ...which will probably appear *very* strange to our Bob User. I currently have no clue whether this is a problem because partman-auto wrongly computes the free space or if this has something to do with already existing THREE *primary* partitions. (BTW, I wonder what D-I would say in the case of already existing FOUR primary partitions....a case where adding partitions is obviously impossible but one should not say "not enough space" but rather have a special error message) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
