Description

When installing to RAID1, installer asks you about a 60 MB diagnositcs partition. What is it good for?

When this installation option is selected it bails out early with an error:

A FAT16 partition is created that is not formated? As It's also broken in 1.1.8 and nobody knows what it does I opt for removal of this "feature"

maybe it can have something to do with old vyatta appliances, not sure.
i agree with you @c-po, in case we may need something like that, we can reinvent the wheel later.
