Seems like the Anaconda UI could provide much clearer explanations of available choices, and the consequenes of those choices (i.e. their impact on the drives/partitions that are VISIBLE to Anaconda).
Does it even make sense to Anaconda to worry about creating anything but a very, very basic partitioning scheme in the age of live media?
This has been a discussion for quite a while over on the devel list (the shortcomings/obfuscation in anaconda). I'd highly suggest that you put in your $0.02 over there. I have for quite a while but I guess I don't carry a lot of weight over there.
I'm with you. Should anaconda see a manually-laid-out partition scheme, it should honor it. It should also permit one to create a partition scheme that meets one's own needs without having to spin twice in an anticlockwise direction on your right foot while quoting Omar Khayyam and then sacrificing a goat under a full moon on the Nazca plains.
Now they're talking about anaconda enforcing its own concept of what a "secure" password is (and a number of people have demonstrated that some of the simplest passwords pass its security test--so I have no idea what they consider "secure"). I've been railing against this impudence and I think I've moved the peg a bit, but not enough.
Get over onto the devel list and start raising some hell. Perhaps they'll listen to us real users a bit more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?"
