Can confirm this. (on a Toshiba Tecra M2). Tried a dist-upgrade on an existing Edgy install but it won't boot (nothing in the logs), so attempting to install from scratch. This is with the Feisty Fawn Beta DVD.

Disk has 3 windows NTFS partitions, a swap partition and an ext3 partition (/dev/sda6) where I want Ubuntu, so I need to select manual partitioning to ensure no disasters.

Entering "Edit Partition" on the ext3 to change the mount point of /dev/sda6 to /, partition size is changed to 2000Mb (it is actually 7641Mb). I don't want to mess with the partition table, I just want to change the mount point. If I type in the existing size it seems to accept that there are no changes required and doesn't prompt for apply changes, but it doesn't inspire trust.

Edit partition needs fixing to pick up the existing partition size and not resize by default - it used to do this fine.

Thanks.
