IMHO this is not a good idea to enable automatic
formating/deleting/creating
partitions using existing disks as a default. Most of the people install
Linux/openSUSE under existing partitions and mostly they do not know how to
change easly this, sometimes they just ignore this option and loose all
data on the disk.
opneSUSE instalator should just ask the user what to do:
1. Install openSUSE on a existing partition (DEFAULT)
2. Automatic Proposal
3. Advanced partitioning
1# without '/home' and 'swap partition' - just '/' and swap file!
2# the same as it is right now
3# Go to Partitioning tool
