So you tried expert mode and also selected manual partitioning. Then the installer offers you to do just that. This seems like deciding to eat an apple and then complaining that it tastes like… an apple. If you choose manual partitioning you get to do just that. And I love that I can do it. The last time I tried a Windows installer partitioning choices were so limited that I wished I had a Debian installer to install Windows. Also the partitioning tool within the Windows installer has been very cumbersome. This has been quite some time and they may have improved this, but still… Use guided partitioning and be done with it in case you do not know much about partitions. The Debian installer has guided partitioning with and without LVM since quite some time. I just don´t get what you are complaining about. Do you have any *factual* and *concrete* issues with the Debian installer? Anything that you could put a finger at and show it to us? Then even better show it to the Debian installer team. I think they´d like constructive, concrete and helpful feedback. If you just like to complain, then better do not even bother to contact the Debian installer team. Thats at least my advice. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
