The reasons for confusion are * button labeling * workflow A redesign could provide some improvement. A first idea could be: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Partitioner_proposal_installation.png References: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461819 http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Partitioner_proposal_installation.png Discussion: #1: Kevin Dupuy (kdupuy9) (2009-03-26 00:06:41) I like the proposal so far. Perhaps there could also be some improvements wrt the actual partitioning interface, similar to GParted or the Ubuntu partitioner. This way it's easier for people that need to make a small change to YaST's proposal can do it easily.

(the one with the storage tree on the left pane :-)) There are some improvements planed for this interface. One of them refers to the use of the bar graph. In order to use some of the design ideas proposed by gparted we would need to extend bar graph widget at first (see FATE #303534: Extend BarGraph Widget). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305869
