after agreeing with you many times, that our partitioning module needs some facelift, I have created some mockups how this could look like:
Overall it looks like a definite improvement.
* Delete partition: the user needs to set the size of the partition on 0 MB.
I think that's rather strange. So you have to set slider to 0 > apply > then "start over". How about you can right click partitions in the overview above and "delete partition" is one of the context menu options.
Another thing, I think one of the most common tasks done with the partitioner on already installed systems is setting a mount point for existing partitions. Therefore I don't think it's a good idea to have the mount-point-thingy in the "manual partitioning" section. Maybe "set mount point" could be an option in the above suggested context menu.
Also I think it might be nice if the partitioner could automagically create folders if you enter a mount point which doesn't exist. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ux+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ux+help@opensuse.org
Instead of placing my comments in between each email because they all feature good points and there was a lot of replies I figured I would comment below: I would absolutely make sure there is no delete button or area for a newbie in the partition (as we all know hehe they would delete their other platform) (some would even do it just to see if it works). I have been moving people to SUSE from 8.1 and up and went pass 10.1 after my total nitemares with it until they fixed some areas. I was wondering how hard it would be to create a version within a version of SUSE. One for the absolute beginner and the other for intermediate or advanced users. Another words, during the beginning of the install one would have a choice to select either one to proceed. The selection of the beginner would bring up a install that is easy and fully explained while the other is self explainable to knowledgeable users. Once the disc gets by the partitioning and other technical areas it resorts to the usual SUSE installs. This way the IT would not have to see all the options the beginner would see. Just a idea. I realize this will take more space but I also figure it would also benefit the advanced user so they do not have to click or whatever by the options for the beginning user.
