Hi Micheal,

Its unfortunate that self-partitioning ability was dropped.  I'm not so interested in adjusting the sizes of the partitions - I think they're fine as they are in the default installation. 

I'd just like to be able to install without LVM.  I've personally never realized any benefits from LVM - not once.  But it sure causes problems when there is a crash and you have to recover data from a LVM disk.  Without that "self-partition" ability, I assume the ability to do a "non-LVM" installation is gone too?

Chuck
