I started trying to port the patches I found in the bf-utf repository
over to the `slang' Newt (snewt) in the `gnewt' module.

It is delaying the partitioning process till later on
Joey sent me a note yesterday with some of his ideas about how the
next generation installation system ought to work, and saying that he
