although i understand the logic of having expert mode not autoprobe for devices, a button to manually do so would still be very helpful. i run expert mode not because i have weird devices but because i like fdisk. an alternative would be to make fdisk available in text mode, of course. fwiw ... thanks.
In the next release of Red Hat Linux, fdisk will be available in the normal install, but just in expert mode, so you will have this choice.
