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?
