Bug#149278: cfdisk partition type selection and installation
Package: installation
Version: 2.11n (Debian 3.0 "woody")
1. The partition type entry field gets filled with seemingly
random, usually inappropriate values. It would be better to
present the actual already-installed partition type number if the
partition is already partitioned; if not, an empty field.
2. It is not possible to set a partition to Type 85, Linux
Extended (presumably ext2), even if the partition is already
installed as ext2. Previously installed (by Debian 2.2 "potato"
partitioning) ext2 partitions are correctly identified, but new
ext2 partitions cannot be installed.
Sorry I'm not using the Debian bug reporting system, but I don't
have Debain Linux fully configured yet. I'm doing this on a SuSE
7.1 box.
