Comments/Problems:
The partition program did not show a list of partitions. Earlier, I
successfully booted and installed sarge-i386-businesscard.iso. Using the
businesscard iso I was able to partition the harddisk properly. When it
was downloading the various base system files, I aborted the
installation by resetting the computer.
Using another computer, I then downloaded and burned the netinst version
of the installer. The netinst cd went only as far as partitioning at
which point I encountered the bug - the guided partitioning menu option
does not do anything.
btw, how would I know if this issue is addressed so i can do a retry?
