Re: Partitioner defaults to MB instead of GB



I've just noticed something weird in this message.

Thinking twice, measuring the space in MB rather in GB does still make
sense in most cases (e.g. swap partitions).

On  the other  hand, most people  would  create >1000MB partitions, so
that having to write 3500 for a ~3.5GB partition may seem awkward.

Just a minor issue anyhow..

Cheers,

Free
