Re: [Fedora-sparc] Fun with old machines and big disks

Hi,

I didn't try that yet but when I start parted I do see something that
might be of interest to the whole partitioning problem during the
installation, making the assumption that pyparted is a frontend for
parted.

parted doesn't show sdb3 as a partition, this will become problamatic
when you create more than 2 partitions I assume..
