Hi, Anton.
What I mean is this:
Here's an image of the installation screen, in the partitioner, right after selecting a partition to edit:

Here's another after filling out all the blanks:

My issue is that I would prefer to see these selection items: ~ File system: ~ Mount point: ~ Mount options: all at the same time, when I first enter the partition settings screen. When I arrived at the first dialog, I didn't see the File system:, much less the two Mount... option selections there, so I wasn't looking for it there after I changed the usage method. It took me a few tries to notice that new items were appearing in the dialog box as I made changes. I don't like that.
Of course, now that I know to look for it, *I* won't have a problem. What I'm concerned for is the new user (even one who was successful with the OLD debian installer, as I have been many, many times) getting frustrated by not being able to find where to set the file system or mount point, as I was for a while. Even if you make ALL of them appear after changing Usage Method, at least that would be a big enough change to be more noticable. But adding them one at a time is just plain annoying, IMO.
Still, it's WAY, WAY, WAY better than the prior partitioning tool, not least because of it's support for LVM.
Thanks,
