Just started installing 7.1 so while this stuff is fresh in my mind here we go.. 1. Ability to create partitions with filesystems other than ext2 and reiser. Would really help. Currently have to do this through yast1 or after installation has been completed. 2. Just before Yast2 starts writing to the hard disk, it gives an option for writing the selected options to a floppy disk. When you try this, it complains that the floppy has not been formatted. I would think it would handle this automatically after confirming this with the user. Just niggles but they'd help. Overall, Yast2's detection abilities (on a 'current' machine) are very good. Nice work :-) Clifford Okoro
