"target device"))
If this only occurs on GPT disks, which I'm pretty sure is true, then a more elucidative message would be:
errors.append(_("You have not specified a BIOS Boot "
"partition."))
The current message is obscure, and consistently results in questions on forums.
For consistency, I suggest the following lines be changed:
line 1165 "You have not defined a root partition (/), "
to
"You have not specified a root partition (/), "
line 1259 "You have not created a bootable partition."
to
"You have not specified a bootable partition."
The four "you have not" partition related errors in this script would then read:
"You have not specified a swap partition. "
"You have not specified a root partition (/), "
"You have not specified a BIOS boot partition "
"You have not specified a bootable partition."
Not sure where the "You have not specified an EFI System partition." is located...
