of the three options, the first (Edit Proposal Settings) is of no use there, and it's repeated on Create Partition Setup
It offers a fast and easy way to select the default filesystem, to choose if you want a separate /home partition. I believe it's quite used, in fact.
never used it in 20 years (almost) So it's useful to * select if you want (or not) a seprate /home * select the filesystem type in fact nothing to do with the partitioning? Partitioning is essentially creating or deleting partitions, as fdisk do. Wording problem (minor)
Expert Partitioner
is not really for expert, as it simply shows the present situation *and mount points filled*, so it simply is a "Edit proposal Settings"
The expert partitioner allows you to create/resize/delete partitions, to define encryption, software RAID, LVM... Almost the opposite of "not for experts" or "simply shows the present situation".
it mostly oblige you to *remove* all these unwanted options. I often use disks with dozen of partitions, and want to choose my own, not ton use previous one. It's also disturbing because you don't know is what is proposed is the openSUSE guessed proposal or the present use/partitioning
Create Partition Setup
first option: use disk:
It's true that you can also reach the proposal settings from here. But I think there are some non-obvious differences.
really non obvious, same name, same options :-)
second option: true expert place
This takes you to the same point than "expert partitioner". Why is this the "true" real expert place compared to the previous one? Is the same dialog with the same options.
but not the same starting point. No mount point pré-installed (except swap that shouldn't for consistency)
In short. Yes, this needs to be improved but we need a better analysis about the available options and why are they there. They are clearly counterintuitive, since I honestly think you misunderstood most of them. ;-)
not a problem, I don't think my point is specially valuable
To late for this sprint (already started yesterday)... but maybe for the next one.
not a problem, we wait for a so long time. If you can spend some time on this part, it's very important, as it's the most dangerous part of the install. I find one of the most interesting part of openSUSE install *not* having the disk modified right at this moment, it allows last time mind change without disturbance. I install some debian recently and writing to the disk before an install summary is really bad. good job :-) thanks jhdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
