Hi Scott,

nothing (such as you described) is viewable on my install screen: I
can't remove or add any partition, so I'm constrained to accept the disk
as it is, that means, I must live with the installer's partitioning. I
hope the final Alpha or Beta are a little bit more
accommodative.

Kind regards and thanks for your help
