Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-05-12 03:43:45 MSD 
ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/4.0/Desktop/4.0.3/iso/altlinux-4.0.3-desktop-i586-install_ru-dvd5.iso

The computer has: /dev/hda (empty, 80G), /dev/hdb (empty, 20G), /dev/hdc (a CD
drive), /dev/hdd (a CD drive).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start installing an ALTLinux system
2. select automatic partitioning
3.
Actual Results:  
/dev/hdb was chosen by the automatic installation: /dev/hdb1 -- swap, /dev/hdb2
-- /, /dev/hdb5 -- /home/.

(But IMO having swap on another physical disk would be better for speed
(parallel swapping and reading of the filesystem).)

Expected Results:  
The automatic partitioning should be smart and should make the swap partition on
/dev/hda.
