The creation of filesystems will be aborted." I haven't been able to understand under which conditions the error occurs, but it occurs more often when using dedicate mode. It definetely does not occur on 7.2-RELEASE. Please excuse me if this information is not sufficient, this is my first bug report. Do not hesitate to contact me for more details. Thank you Kostas Kanavidis >How-To-Repeat: Sysinstall steps to reproduce the error (does not happen always, it appears to have some relationship with previous install attempts on the same disk): Standard install a (Use Entire Disk) q Standard (install a standard MBR) c (Create partition) [ENTER] default size (all disk) FS (A file system) / (Mount point) q Minimal Distribution CD/DVD YES (User Confirmation) YES (Swap file warning) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
