Well, we need to clarify your opinion a bit. The installer does not decide anything at all. You are the one pressing the buttons, but yes you are right, the installer advices certain sizes for a predefined set of partitions. We might argue whether that is or is not right, but given the context of the current ticket; it's not a problem :-) -- /"\ Best regards, | re...@freebsd.org \ / Remko Lodder | re...@efnet X http://www.evilcoder.org/ | / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
