How do I get the 10.3 installer to allow me to: * Edit the default partition sizes, without having to delete and re-create them. I finally figured out how to get into the details part of the screen after selecting Modify -- it's not obvious, and there doesn't seem to be any help available -- but the partition size seems to be immutable. (I want to make the swap partition larger than the default, and the root partition correspondingly smaller.) * Start the partition editor with the existing disk layout. Having once gotten through the hell of getting the disk partitioned the way I want it, only to have the installation fail later on, I see no reason to have to repeat the partitioning step. Where is the option to read the existing partition sizes into the editor? * Ignore a minor error and continue. It complained that it could not extract the timestamp of some file -- I don't remember which one, and it doesn't matter -- and then the only choices provided were to start over or exit. That is not reasonable.
