Huh? Why? I have a pretty nice Alpha box here, which has a RAID unit
attached with about 24 Gb of user space. Until now, it has been an
Digital Unix "Tru64" database server, but has been retired from that
purpose.
Had Vidiot not screamed loud and hard about the problems with the
installation routine, Red Hat "Server" install would have not only wiped
out Digital Unix on the system disk (good thing), but all 24 Gb of user
data as well (BAAAAD thing).
I agree 100% with Vidiot on this -- there should be an option to choose
between "automatic" and "manual" partitioning.
I find it amusing that so many Red Hat enthusiasts find the current way
"the way it is" and that nothing can be improved upon.
By the way, I'm a Red Hat apologist enthusiast myself (proof at
http://www.LinuxNinja.com/linux-admin) but I'm able to recognize when a
problem exists.
