(Get the code!)
According to my testing I can confirm the bug on post Herd2 amd64.
Installing 20070117 alternate amd64 on a physical HDD (sata) with existing partitions fails in the same way - the installer cannot choose for installation neither free space nor select pre-formatted / and /swap partitions .
However the same build installs perfectly as a VM guest with blank vmdisk. I got me a new HDD today and will try soon to reproduce a nice alt install on it.
Is it accurate to suggest that if the bugs in the text installer regarding partitioning and formatting (in the case of existing partitions) are not solved, the desktop CD cannot move forward?
