Is it possible, to somehow merge these examples?
Definitely ... for instance by a Wizard-like dialogs. It's not possible to have one-big-superb dialog that would fit all needs and that would be *additionally* understandable for the first sight. Example with several systems installed: --- Step One --- Installation program has found these systems on your hard disk(s): * System AAA * System BBB Would you like to ( ) Upgrade system [ System AAA v ] ( ) Install openSUSE over [ System AAA v ] (x) Shrink some disk partitions to install openSUSE ---------------- --- Step Two --- You have selected option to shrink some partitions to make enough space for new openSUSE installation. Select partition(s) you would like to shrink: +------+--------------+----------------+------------+------------+ | Sel. | Partition | Used by system | Total size | Free space | +------+--------------+----------------+------------+------------+ | [ ] | /dev/? | System AAA | 20.1 GB | 5.2 GB | | [x] | /dev/? | System BBB | 115.3 GB | 26.8 GB | | [ ] | ... | ... | ... | ... | +------+--------------+----------------+------------+------------+ ---------------- Additionally, some people might also want partitioner to propose which partition should be shrunk ... BTW: there is no such YCP widget that would allow check-box in column in table :) ;) But we are just thinking about possible solutions in general, aren't we? Bye Lukas
