Why has the Partioner been changed to make it so hard to adjust partition sizes? In previous versions of OpenSUSE, when creating a partition, it was easy to see and modify the partition size or start/end cylinders. Now, it appears you have to create a partition and if you want to change it, you have to delete and then recreate it. Even if you specify start/stop cylinders, you can't later see how many there are. Why are we supposed to operate blind in this area? We shouldn't have to guess or use trial & error to get the desired partition sizes.
The old story James. They had to make it better !! Surprised me also when I went to install 11.1. Took me half an hour to figure out the expert partitoning which used to be so intuitive, while muttering to myself, "why did they do that?" And speaking of "blind", I am visually impaired Where do they come up with the colors they use in the menu's? Blues and greens on black which are almost impossibe for me to see. Must be all young people with good eyesight designing that stuff. Not much thought given to accessability. There should be a tester just for that nonsense.
