Hi Mathieu,

Er, I was… expecting that to mean it would pop up a pretty window or
something.  Is this really a feature?  Should it be?

I'm not sure what's the point here.

I'm not sure whose point you're referring to, so I'll clarify mine.

Currently, pressing ENTER on a whole disc device wipes its partition table, or at least did so for me (MBR). That's an unexpected way ‘to change a disk's partition table’ even if it's technically true.

It wasn't clear to me whether it was intentional, or a bug, or perhaps a bit of both. Hence my question. I agree that we should warn before writing anything, but that's somewhat orthogonal.

I had rewritten the dialogue before encountering this issue, but it doesn't seem like I understand the intention behind the design very well. I'll drop the UI-related patches and leave that effort to someone who does.

we would be glad to get your support.

That wasn't the impression I got in response to some mild criticism, but thanks. I'll keep working on it when I get that spare machine :-)

(I do consider the installer important to the project, even if I never claimed to be its target audience.)

Kind regards,

T G-R
