This partitioner is overly complicated. I personally found the old partitioner very intuitive, but I can see how some people were unimpressed by it. The new partitioner basically takes the previous and completely unchanged one screen partitioner, hides it away under the hard disk overview then adds on a bunch of extra fluff for individual partitions. Everything in this new partitioner is duplicated because the old partitioner is still there in all its gnarly old glory. Everything except adding a new partition and seeing how much space is being used in one glance. For that, you need to find the screen containing the old partitioner. Then, when you're there, you realize that you can really do everything from this one screen. Partitioning the partitioner is necessary to reduce clutter, yes. However, the project should be moving in the direction of graphically depicting the hard disk, not showing a ton of extraneous info in text. If acronis, parted, etc are able to get partitioning right, opensuse should be taking a page from their books, rather than from fdisk. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
