The installer will only make partitions if you tell it to.
That's what he did in the beginning (partitioning beforehand), but he couldn't get the installer to recognize, detect, or use the partitions he'd created (or something to that effect; I don't know whether he ever said just exactly what extraneous partitioning tools he employed, laboring under the false impression that the native partitioner couldn't handle 4k sector drives). > Just follow the links for manually partitioning the disk, which should > detect your partitions and allow you to simply assign them for > installation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
