I used the autoguided partitioning and this happened. I should have taken the time to parition it myself I guess, eh?

dont restrict bugs since you dont know what they're for
Comment 2 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-03 15:40:18 UTC
Was this the CVS snapshot?
Comment 3 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-09 14:21:58 UTC
This appears to be with the 0.3 version of the installer. This problem was fixed a while ago in CVS. Please update to the latest CVS snapshot by opening a terminal and running '/opt/installer/misc/updategtkfe'. Reopen this bug if the problem still exists.
