Indeed. Why MS couldn't just use Intel's GPT disklabel instead I have no idea. NIH syndrome presumably. If there was a way to get partman to not use parted to detect the partitions, but to just use the existing kernel detected ones in /proc/partitions (which of course would not be editable) then that would at least allow pre-existing partitions to be used by the installer. Perhaps partman is too closely intertwined with parted for this to be possible -- I haven't looked. cheers, Phil -- http://www.kantaka.co.uk/ .oOo. public key: http://www.kantaka.co.uk/gpg.txt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
