Why using Linux Mint ? (this is a simple question... )
And not the Ubuntu, Debian or OpenSUSE installer ? (Mint is based on
Ubuntu...)

Is it possible to use some of those features in the installer for DDL ? So
yes, why not include the possibility of your last article on the blog:

And GParted is not scriptable :(

I love testing ! My little Laly is waiting the evolution ;)
If you want I can test it ASAP (first with a virtual machine, second with a
real machine !)
