The results I found have been two years in the making? Yikes!!!

I don't recall you mentioning any blog in posts except 
http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/, where I had to hit Ctrl-+ 5 times to read it, at 
which point there was horizontal scroll with the browser fullscreen, and the 
text contained in its Anaconda images remained a mere 1/4 the size of my 
browser UI. The first date I found there was September 25, 2012, about 10 
weeks ago.

> You do not appear to be making any effort at all to understand newUI

My effort has proven all but fruitless. When you posted that list of 5 new 
bugs, I did formulate and begin a new plan. The obstacles to proceeding with 
that plan further exhausted me and available time. If someone who has been 
multibooting multiple machines with Linux since last century can't figure it 
out in less than a day, how's the average n00b going to fare, or even a 
non-n00b Fedora regular who is not also a regular testing participant?

As noted upthread, "this stuff is hard". All I need is what Mandriva/Mageia 
provide via cmdline option readonly=1 to select mount points among existing 
partitions, so maybe there's no reason for me to continue participating in 
Anaconda partitioning testing or discussion any time soon.
