We have auto-partitioning, all we would need is partition-finding. For me personally, I'm going to have to back away fom one or the other of these threads/projects. Ease of Install is one, and Demo Disk is the other. I choose Demo Disk, as I think it's an easier task technically, but those who want to work on the Install process simplification, I will be glad to assist with resources et al. Bob has already told me it's important to him, too, so that's an assurance that he will help as needed. -- Don Wilde "Bringing the Internet to everyone!"
