Hi, steve! Could you please share your recommendation with all interested ,for example, myself? I for the most part have no troubles with DiskDruid except for the boxes to choose type of partition. For instance, in the first edit box I type the mount point, then I tab once. Speakup says: "Size 1 type: Linux swap". I tab again and I hear "Grow to fill type: Linux native" Then, I tab once more and I hear: "Disks to choose from:" ... ... OK, I understand that "grow to fill" is a checkbox, but where I choose partition type?
