Comments/Problems:
Partition utility took several minutes to finally come up, then would
not allow me to do anything except wipe the disk clean (not an option).
I needed to blow away hda2 and create hda2/hda3 for root/swap. If there
was a way to do it, it wasn't intuitive and the instructions were
unhelpful (or parted would not allow it and nothing actually said that).
Suggestion: allow a way (alternate partitioning step) to use the old
fdisk/cfdisk in place of parted (sorry, but I find it a horrible,
unusable piece of junk).
Note: on a different low-memory installation, parted never came up --
at least, over an hour later (went to lunch while it was trying to pass
72%), it was still stuck. Installed using older net installer.
Thanx
