Then do not do it. Simple.
Besides, I do not know what you call "newbie mode". I started diskdrake,
went in hdb, clicked on expert mode, created new LVM partition and
exited. As a result I got unbootable system.
You seem to miss the point. I do not say you should not use 0x85
parition (or whatever). I say that you should not (must not, ought not)
change existing partitions unless user *explicitly* requested it.
