Ok, I've found that this is just that we have small drives and partman-auto is not able to come up with any recipes that fit (which is why it doesn't prompt for any), and it lacks a check for this. I'll add a check. My vmware drive is 300 mb. Memory is 95 mb. Yours? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It is not just vmware being slow either. set -x shows it is in decode_recipe. It gets the ram size, and then apparently $1 is not set, so the cat without an argument hangs. decode_recipe is being called without a recipe name to decode. partman-auto/choose_recipe is somehow set to "". I did not go back further. Either this is somehow triggered by the vmware environment, or it is fixed in version 7 of partman-auto. Version 7 will be in tonight's CD images, so we can see then. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package: partman-auto Severity: normal When choosing any of both choices partman first shows for automatitioning (use the larget continuous space or the whole disk), a progress bar appear and is hanged at 88%Nothing happens anymore further. Nothing weird on other consoles... This, with the 3/2/2004 netinst ISO image.
