** Description changed: - When installing Flight 4 and using the partitioning tool, I clicked on - the unallocated space and then clicked the New button to add a - partition. The next dialog box only allows me to add an 'msdos label'. + When using the GParted partitioning tool, I clicked on the unallocated + space and then clicked the New button to add a partition. The next + dialog box only allows me to add an 'msdos label'. From speaking to Kamian it seems that this really means 'Create a PC partition table'. This should be changed as (a) I am not using MSDOS and (b) users may confuse 'msdos' for a filesystem type. + + Most people know msdos partition table as "master boot record (MBR) + partitioning style", so, "MBR" should be mentioned in some way, as + people familiar with other popular operating systems are most likely to + deal with this partitioning style — and that is the term they are going + to look for.
