My biggest peeve (and this may be outdated since I haven't looked at 
sysinst for a couple of years) is that there's no way to interactively 
and visually size your disk partitions without pulling out your 
calculator or adding numbers in your head... Maybe I'm the only doofus 
who needs to have pictures (ascii is fine) but that's about the only 
thing I'd want out of a new 'sysinst'.

If this already exists, then I'm sorry for bringing it up.
