Hello,
Yesterday I have made a test installation using pre-rc2 netinst
image and linux26 on my Toshiba S1400-103 laptop and found a
few problems. I will put them in separate reports.
(I selected Romanian language to be used during installation.)
The partition /dev/hda3 was initially set to type openBSD but was
formatted as ReiserFS (for testing reasons).
While doing the partitioning I found that partman does not display
labels of existent partitions nor does it set them. This can help a lot
in configurations like my own (multiple *nix OSes)
Could the setting fail due to the fact that the type of the partition
was not originally set to Linux (83) ?
