With the split there is probably no reason as long as the option for manual partitioning is still shown on the first screen. (At the time I _did_ mention though that the default should be preserved.) Some comments on the reorg: - It seems like the menu has only been split into two levels for LVM and not for regular partitioning. IMO this is inconsistent. - The device selection dialog is currently also shown when there is only one disk. I suggest leaving it like that for now so that users at least see how many disks have been detected and which one they are selecting. - The dialog for removal of existing LVM volumes is also shown when doing regular partitioning (which seems correct), but is somewhat confusing in that case because it says "The selected device _already_ contains ...". The "already" does not make sense when you are not partitioning using LVM. Cheers, FJP
