Aside from the point you make, I find that it doesn't show you what actions have already been chosen: as soon as you select any of the inadequately-labeled existing partitions, that partition disappears completely from the display. So at the end of the process, all you have to go on is a display of the partitions you've *not* selected to be mounted and/or overwritten. Want to double-check your choices before you push the big red button? Good luck with that. I do like the functionality of showing you the former/existing usage of each partition, but that ought to be an annotation on something that's laid out more like the old display. As is, it's unhelpful to the point of being outright dangerous. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
