One nice thing we could do with partman during the default, high-priority install, would be to make it offer automatic partitioning more promenetntly. This seems like an easy change; the submenu for automatic partitioning is just right, it even includes a menu item for manual partitioning (which goes back to the full partman interface). I've been thinking that perhaps at high priority partman could display the automatic partitioning menu first. If the user chooses to autopartition, they would still see the full partman menu afterwards, to verify the setup and make any changes they wish. Looking at the automatic partitoning menu, I get the feeling this menu was designed to be used this way.. was it? As to implementation, I think partman-auto could simply povide an init.d script which runs last and displays the menu iff debconf priority is high. -- see shy jo
