[opensuse-factory] remainder for future use: partitionner
Hello, Installing several 11.4 and the last debian made me notice the following. It's too late to make a change to 11.4, but we should finb a solution for the next one, so keep this on a mailbox corner :-)) thanks openSUSE have probably the best partitionner ever (and I think I know, being the partition HOWTO author). However, at install time, if one try to install on a crowded disk (let only with windows), it's not easy to know what to do. I specially notice this making an "install openSUSE" video clip. I have to say: if the default partition install is not what you want for sure, better use only a live dvd". the same two menu entries we had for years (create partition/ modify partitions) is specially unsignificant. so we will have to make this better - work to do :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Maybe you should open a feature for whatever improvements you foresee for the partitioner? Even if just as a placeholder.

Funny, I use those all the time. :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Same, but I never remember wich one do what. It's only when I have a bunch of install to do that I remember, usually like now when we are near a release :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I miss the slider that we used to have on the partitioner. It would nice to bring it back in the next version 11.5? -- Cheers! Roman "Six by nine. Forty two." "That's it. That's all there is."
