I noticed on the partitioner earlier, when you delete a partition (as I tested with my HP_RECOVERY partiton), the partition is immediately removed from the screen, even though it still exists on disk, and I was able to cancel safely. This isn't good feedback to the user, and suggests that what they have done is immediate, even though the change hasn't been commited. I might have to file this as a seperate problem on bugzilla, away from the colour thing.
I'm sure if you do it will get dismissed, either WONTFIX or INVALID. Nothing gets written to disk until the whole plan is mapped and you click OK to proceed with the installation, _after_ you're done with package selection, to confirm all that went before is what you really want to do.
Hi Felix Possibly - the whole partitioning process is preceded by a suitable warning that you should be an expert in disk organsiation prior to using it, but I still think keeping deleted partitions in the list, flagged as "about to be deleted", would be a fairly simple change and one that helps even an expert user. I'll file a bug tomorrow and see what happens. Lets hope you're wrong :) Cheers Pete --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
