Can you prove that everyone who might install an OS on a computer always has another, working one at their disposal when they do that? It's an unreasonable assumption that they do, and simply by not having that myself, I've already proven you wrong. It also seems far more likely that most of the people who do have a computer have only one and not several. So how likely is it that they suddenly have several when installing on OS? Computers don't just suddenly appear out of nothing when someone installs an OS. >> No, I merely gave some example questions a clueless users might ask >> which could come up when they are reading the insufficient and confusing >> text weaver suggested to put into the D/i.

Just read carefully and provide a quote where I proposed to use the Debian installer to educate clueless users to make educated decisions about partitioning. > Your ideas have been heard, considered, disagreed with, and rejected. It seems that what I've been suggesting already does exist. It probably existed before this discussion started. How is that possible when my ideas are so disagreeable and so rejected? -- Debian testing amd64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
