RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Zenon Panoussis 2010-07-25 05:08:10 UTC
The text mode installer offers the following partitioning options:

- Use entire drive
- Replace existing linux system
- Use free space

The options "Shrink current system" and "Create custom layout" which are offered in graphics mode, are missing in text mode. Without custom layout most systems can't be installed at all.

Beta-1 20100414.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-25 05:38:01 UTC
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2010-07-26 13:58:38 UTC
Text mode is deprecated and shouldn't be used unless you have no other choice.  It never had very good partitioning support as text mode was never on par with the graphical installer.  We will not be adding back anything to text mode that's missing.  Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/NewTextUI for more information.
