Comments/Problems:
Partman would not allow reuse of existing ext3 or fat32 partitions.
After selecting "Keep and use existing..." it does not allow setting
the mount point and shows a blank type, which prevents continuing to
the next step. Only partitions selected for formatting get complete
info.
Error text:
---------- [!!] Partition disks
No file system is specified for partition #2 of IDE1 master.
If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and assign a file
system to this partition, it won't be used at all.
Go back to the menu?
<Go Back> <Yes> <No>
----------
I chose to go back and format all the ext3 partitions and leave the
fat32 unused.
Annoyance: /etc/fstab has /media/floppy as the mount point for
/dev/fd0, and /media/cdrom for the cd, but empty /floppy, /cdrom, and
/cdrom0 directories are still created.
Wishlist: Allow adding multiple sources during the apt configuration
step, such as two CDs plus http.
