Re: Installing Buster (improvements)

Hi,

i assume that you are better off with your complaint at
  debian-boot@lists.debian.org

One can see in the list archive that bug reports about partitioning
during installation get re-attributed to package "debian-installer".
E.g. in
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2020/06/msg00065.html

This kind of input demand is indeed outdated and ambiguous.

Did the partition editor at least tell how many "heads" a "cylinder" has
and how many "sectors" (i.e. blocks) are covered by one "head" ?
Did it show the start and end (or size) of the existing partition, so that
you get an impression what C/H/S address would be suitable as start of your
new partition ?


Have a nice day :)
