It's the only opportunity you have to go back and tweak it. For intermediate users, it can save a fair amount of faff to be able to use automatic partitioning to do most of the work and then say "no, hang on, I really wanted reiserfs" or whatever. I agree that for novices it's not a very useful question but I think there's a range of abilities for which automatic partitioning is useful.
I also think there's something to be said for partman being consistent in always showing the partitioning layout after automatic partitioning, rather than hiding it when you're installing it onto a blank disk but showing it otherwise. It's convenient and useful to include the partitioning layout on the confirmation screen when you have existing partitions, and I think we are probably agreed that the confirmation is appropriate in that case. :-) -- partman/confirm should not include warning if there's no data left to lose https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
