Any trick around this ?

Back up your system with rsync and restore them after install. Can't
think of a reason this wouldn't work but it's cumbersome.



Well I now that this was always an option but it used to be way more
convenient before. There even is a "reformat" button in the partitioning
tool which is always "on" and disabled. I just wanted to check if I'm
the one who is to dumb to grasp the new concept. And now I'm happy
that I'm not.

Thanks
