Good work on the new installer improvements. I especially like the
initial user creation, as its the first thing I used to do on a new
system.
I just wacked in a large (by my standards) FCAL disk into my Sun; it is
136GB in size.
The installer's auto-layout wanted to make relatively small root and
/usr partitions (I'm assuming the minimums). Could be nice if the slice
sizes "scaled up" across larger disks? Perhaps based upon a percentage
of the total disk available?
Just a minor thought really.
