I'm asking because all newer images are known to have issues with partman on 32-bit PowerPC machines. Are you not seeing any issues with the partioner on 32-bit PowerPC? You know what...now that you mention it, I did a clean install _over the top of_ one I had partitioned with the 2018 powerpc32 netinst image. Therefore, I didn't exercise the disk partitioning code path in this image at all. I guess that's a reasonable way to work around the current breakage....partition with the old installer, then reboot with a newer one after the partitioning step is complete. Adrian
