Comments/Problems:
Installed with expertgui.
The only issues I noticed were with partitioning the disks (manual
partitioning).
I created two logical partitions on hdb.
hdb6=ext3 / and hdb7=swap created in that order
Writing changes showed this:
The following partitions are going to be formatted:
partition #6 of IDE1 master (hda) as swap
partition #6 of IDE1 slave (hdb) as ext3
partition #7 of IDE1 slave (hdb) as swap.
Now technically this is accurate, there is a swap partition on hda6
from my sarge install. However that partition was not referenced or
modified by me in any way. I guess formatting it again won't do any
harm but on the other hand why is the installer deciding to format
other partitions?
Also the interface for partitioning (partition list) was a little
inconsistent in that it was the only screen which did not allow me to
select items with the mouse.

This is normal when using manual partitioning: existing swap partitions
are automatically selected for use by the installed system.
If you do not wish to use the existing partition on hda6, select it and
choose "do not use" from the use as menu.
You may want to manually remove it from the /etc/fstab of your new
installed system.
Closing your report as there were no real issues. Thanks for submitting
it.
Cheers,
