Currently, pressing ENTER on a whole disc device wipes its=20 partition table, or at least did so for me (MBR). That's an=20 unexpected way =E2=80=98to change a disk's partition table=E2=80=99 even if= it's=20 technically true. It wasn't clear to me whether it was intentional, or a bug, or=20 perhaps a bit of both. Hence my question. I agree that we should=20 warn before writing anything, but that's somewhat orthogonal. I had rewritten the dialogue before encountering this issue, but=20 it doesn't seem like I understand the intention behind the design=20 very well. I'll drop the UI-related patches and leave that effort=20 to someone who does. > we would be glad to get your support. That wasn't the impression I got in response to some mild=20 criticism, but thanks. I'll keep working on it when I get that=20 spare machine :-) (I do consider the installer important to the project, even if I=20 never claimed to be its target audience.)
