How many? More importantly, this is not sufficient information for anybody who has performed an installation with the default partitioning. Will disabling this option break a default installation? Also, is this option necessary in order to /create/ partitions, just to /use/ them, or both? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
