Dear All,
I'm sure that I'm not the only one that finds slices and partitions 
fine in theory but a bastard in practice cos we can't find out how
to calculate everything.

The installation process works a treat and sorts all of this out in a 
nice, warm user friendly way.  Is it possible for this package to be 
made more general and available as an online tool so that discs can be
added without having to do battle with the current tools and work it all
out ourselves?.

If so, could this be added or can the sources for the installation tool 
be made available so that I or someone else out there can have a go 
at this?.

Cheers

Robin
