Now that I've straightened out my initrd, I've managed to create this partman patch. This modifies the main screen with a simpler, cleaner look as I described earlier, including removing the menu items for commit and abort. I've also made some similar changes to the active_partition screen. Since I am new to partman, and am not sure if it's really ok to remove the commit and abort menu items, I will hold off on applying this patch until Anton has a chance to comment on it. -- see shy jo
