    I just readed it - it's great but..

- Initialize a Linux partition
     This is very similar to the previous step, but this time it's not about
     swap partitions, but about "real" partition which are supposed to carry
     files. Just as before, you'll be presented with a list of partitions
     that the installer found to be valid as Linux filesystem partitions.
     Again, for each of the partitions you have chosen, accept them,
     skip the "Bad-block scan" and (when you are sure) select "Yes" to format
     (initialize) the partition.

    There is a question to retain 2.0.x kernel compatibility of ext2fs in
this step - I included it i my version.

    Thanks for your work Christian.
