This I have to assume works. What I was referring to was all the popup
windows that synaptic uses, the contents of are NOT copy/paste able.
This morning I am attepting to format and make ready a disk for a new
wheezy install. But not I find the installer, even in the expert mode,
will not allow the partitioner to be bypassed, nor can the do not use
shown when a partition is selected, be changed to use this one for (fill
in the blank, like "/boot" or "/".
So the so-called expert installer mode is still dumber than a rock.
Is there a magic key that will let me do this? The last wheezy install,
on this same disk, blew it, every partition start AND stop wasn't aligned
properly.
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
