Which partitinos will be formatted by the installer should be absolutely
more clear in the install process. I am afraid users will lose home dirs
without this (as I just did).
Mandriva Linux has an option AFTER selecting the mount points. One
complete page in the installer just to specify which partitions will be
formatted, when doing manual partitioning. Something like that would be
useful. Maybe I should have not specified the mount point for /export,
or I don't know how the home dirs could have been saved.
I don't remember how I made this type of install last
time, and the install GUI does not really help!
Something like:
"choose partitions to format:
(*) / type size
( ) /export type size"
Both checked by default if not formatted yet. Or something like that...
Thanks!
