It may be unnecessary to repartition on Linux-ready system, than
already has ext partitions.

On typical Home Windows systems, when there is one single big 200 GB
hard drive and 200 GB NTFS partition on it, like 99% of all world's
Home PCs those days shipped, you _can not_ install a Linux on such a
typical system without repartitioning it first.

Have you worked with _typical_ Windows systems ever ?
