what about all those that have hardware which is not supported by 2.4 ?

Let's let the ubuntu guys test it, and then we will see :)
Seriously, it would be nice to have a experimental version of the neinst iso
or whatever with the partman/parted changes, so we can ask users with problems
to test that.
That said, if we had done the change in august, then we would not have this
problem anymore now, so the whole discussion comes down to if we will release
this year yet (highly unlikely), or 6 or more onth from now.
