Gene - You appear to be the only one having problems. You decline to describe those problems in a manner that allows us to see what the problems are - you just rant and tell anecdotes and call the installer names. The partitoner does work, including with new dirives. The installer does work. It _will_ install on pre-exising partitions. I have done it frequently. You may have hit a corner case. We can't tell what is going wrong because you seem to regard being lucid as in some way wimpish. Have you tried to RTFM?
