I tried to move a 7,7gb iso image to that partition and it never said anything about the file limit being 4gb. I figured it out myself when i thought "wait, aren't fat32 partitions supposed to have a file size limit?". If that's not a papercut, then it should be. @Gordon:

We don't want the sort of ambiguous error messages that are the norm for windows e.g. <a href="http://www.ecalpemos.org/2009/01/windows-says-my-external-usb-hard-drive.html" rel="nofollow">Windows says USB drive full when it isn't.</a> Another problem area for Ubuntu at the moment is the failure to detect Nvidia graphics cards during installation. Its the sort of problem that could put off many non geek users and its one of the few weak points left with the installation process.

Disabling Expo and binding win+e to open nautilus happens right after I bind win+t to open a terminal. I totally agree with Corey.

I would think this would be more then a papercut -- if something doesn't work simply then it shouldn't be showing in the gui of a default install.

I filed a nautilus bug about that ages ago but the developers WONTFIXed it.

It's sane about Compiz shortcuts, in order match Metacity and in order to provide a _full_ keyboard access (a11y).
