yeah, I have to put on my curmudgeon hat here. what was wrong with
a linear install? This spoke and wheel thing is for the birds,
especially when it comes to complex hard drive layouts, like multi
mdadmin drives and LVM + encryption. I am sometimes surprised at
how well it ferrets out my intent, but if it is wrong, it gets damn
hard to fix it. Their time would be better spent by designing a UI
completly different from an UI that just gets out of your way and
lets you get things done, no wait: Never mind.<br>
