Having some press articles and blogs published on the subject in conjunction would be extra good. 2) sysinstall needs to be updated to understand the 2TB "problem" and provide unambiguous information to the user about it. 3) sysinstall needs to be further updated to give the user options for doing GPT partitioning with MBR compatibility for booting. #1 and #2 are vital to get done. #3 is a very strong "nice to have". Please, anyone, feel free to work on these tasks with or without coordination with myself or others. They need to be done. Thanks, Scott
