Hi! Yesterday as I was installing 2.1.5R I noticed the same bug (feature?) of sysinstall as in 2.0.5R. When using label editor I choose an (A) option (automatic selection of filesystems sizes), and then I looked at the numbers and wanted to slightly change them to suit my specific needs. So I went on and deleted some (not all) entries to free up space. Then I started to assign them anew, and at the last chunk I've simply chosen ``the rest'' of space by simply pressing Enter, when asked about size of the filesystem. And then this fella tells me something like: "total numbers of blocks exceeded" or "size too big" - I don't remember exactly. Anyway, it miscalculated ``the rest'' of free space. It didn't help also when I deleted all already assigned space and started again - it was still complaining. Finally, I quit the label editor and entered it again. This time I manually assigned sizes, and encountered no problems. So, that's it. Andy
