Ok...so let me get this straight...the installer doesn't let me actually =
chosse the names of my partions...that part has to be standardized?
what kind of sense does that make? if its going to put everything into / =
, and .usr why does it promt me for other partions in the first =
place...I understand of course that people would like to create other =
partions then just /, var, and usr, but I just don't get why the system =
wouldn't allow me to decide what files I want where

also
I didn't choose the auto-config because it didn't have an autoconfig
I suppose thats strange?
