Okay, it is maybe not fair to make a unproven statement  -- but it is 
quite a while ago I used autopartkit. With sarge I usually go for 
manual partitioning (and I appreciate to be able to do so).

This note concerns a woody installation:

For Sarge, I could not find any postings on the German list. I am quite 
aware that there are many improvements with the parition layout. The 
only thing one could argue is how much to use for home0 if there is a 
160 GB platter. Some would complain if you assign only 40 GB, others 
would love to have the space for backup partitions. I don't know if any 
interactivity (solving this ambiguity) would be 
- easy to render
- desirable (as this would be no automation any more). Instead of

"Do you really want to partition you hard disc and lose all data"

I could imagine a dialogue:

"Your hard disc will be partitioned as shown below. All will be lost!"
	[Layout]
[CANCEL]			[EDIT LAYOUT]			[COMMIT]"

What do you think?
