I would love too to pass the wished value in a text-field. All other is just unneeded complication. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-20 23:55 ------- I agree with Steffen. However, in the interest of making it more user-friendly the least expensive change would be to add wording from Keven's comment #1 to the page. I realize that there are limits on sizes, for example it may be possible to create a 1024 MB partition but not a 1023 MB partition, so there would be a little additional error-checking involved with the text-field solution. However, when focus leaves the text field it could simply be rounded up (better than down). This would happen when the user moves to a different field, or clicks Done. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: During partitioning, the "Size in MB" slider should also have a text field so the user can type in the exact size of the partition. For example, I'm currently installing to a VM in VMware, giving it 512 MB of RAM. I'd like to double that for the swap space, for 1024 MB of swap (1 GB). Selecting this with the slider is somewhat tedious as I have to use very tiny movements for the mouse. Being able to type it in, in addition to being able to select it with the slider, would be useful. Shouldn't be difficult either, as there's already a non-modifiable text field above the slider, showing the "Size in MB:". It should be fairly easy to make this text field into a modifiable text field, and link its value to the slider. (I've done such things in Windows, but am fairly new to Linux.) This is Mandrake 9.1 beta 2.
