And anyway. In the current state, the partitioner _by default_ proposes a reworked partitioning scheme, with little regard to the existing one. Which is safer for the installer, but actually more dangerous for the average Next-clicker.
I complained not once on partitioning proposals, and proposed to ask user, not just flip the coin and hope that it will be right. 1) Once it wanted do delete 10.3 installation and leave Alpha N in order to install Alpha N+1. This can wipe off someone's working installation with all user data, in order to install the one that user wants to play with. It is not necessary that installations are test releases. 2) Next time it wanted to use /home that was on separate virtual disk and partition it for installation, which is exactly what should not happen. I would understand if it would like to wipe off current installed system, it would show that it has minimal idea about content. Not mounting to prevent errors is fine, but throwing wild guesses that can wipe off user data, if user has a bad day and forget to check, is not good. BTW, asking ahead of time is not necessary in every case, for instance, if there is single disk, and partition is Windows type there is no doubt what user wants, but if it is already multiboot than it needs more attention. That can be considered as implicit request for research in order to prevent real damage. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
