Thanks for the head's up, I considered suicide when I recently tested
10.10/DVD/amd64 and tried doing some standard partitioning using the
default DVD tool. (Unless I missed something, once you create a
partition is stays put, you cannot edit or move it. Nothing beats
creating 5 partitions, just to find out that the first partition [/boot]
is 20MB instead of 200MB - forcing you to delete and restart... Pure
joy)
