(1)(1)does the idea of „automatic partitioning” is to make monopoly in one
OS on one computer? [sarcasm]
(2)(2)Yes, its only a proposal, more details I can make in some free time.
(3)(3)Yap
(4)(4)but openSUSE is mostly installed by less advanced users, who mostly do
not know anything about Servers
(5)(5)Most people on the world have a Windows and they install GNU/Linux with
curiosity, and GNU/Linux should not propose to delete their favorite system and
all precious data that where collected for years. This is something that makes
openSUSE behind almost all major GNU/Linux distributions. And even I do not use
Windows, but GNU/Linux (doesn't matter if its not openSUSE/SUSE) but I want
check this distro [...]
(6)(6)Propose:
1. After detecting disks and partitions Yast2 should propose mount points for
all existed partitions.
2. When it finds
completely free partition (doesn't matter with what file system - sometimes
users prepare before installation free partition under different OS for a new
system) OR/AND unallocated space with more size than installation required
it should mark it with a green color – that on this partition/space You can
install openSUSE with options /boot, /swap, /, /usr, ... etc.
3. When it doesn't find good partition then it should ask “Create automatic
disk partitioning?”.
a) YES
- Automatically create partition setup for home users (example
only with “/” and “/home” and ”/boot” - boot is very important for
grub, because for example when a user delete under windows Linux partition grub
is still in the MBR but it cant find config files - “OH MY GOD, LOOK LINUX
DESTROYED MY SYSTEM – I WILL NEVER USE LINIX AGAIN” and most people do not
know anything about windows installation “fixmbr”) - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST
[red color]
- Automatically create partition setup for server - ALL DATA
WILL BE LOST [red color]
b) NO
- Edit partition setup (all proposed mount points in step 1.
should remain even without “/” but whit red warning “To install openSUSE
You have to create partition with minimal size $MINIMAL_INSTALLATION_SIZE
GB”).
