I would guess that it would be possible to write a script for partman.
So I wonder how/where/when such a script should be run. Any suggest on
scripting for partman would be appreciated.
'Solved' is not a proper description. Better to say that I have
discovered some serious misunderstanding on my part. It would be
a serious waste of other peoples time to extend this sub-thread

Sorry.

Hi there,
The Touchpad key (FN + F3) that allows to enable/disable toutchpad is not
working in Debian Wheezy.
I have a DELL vostro v131, and KDE. Multimidia FN keys works nice, and
enable/disable wifi and bluetooth also works great.
I'm not sure about FN+F1 that changes monitor, but I'll find out

I plan to partition them, and make one large partition on each one to
serve as a carrier for a RAID-1. I plan to subdivide that RAID using
LVM. There will also be a few small partitions outside the
