  I will do that tomorrow, getting files off that box is somewhat tricky
at the moment.

  In the meanwhile, I booted again with the installer CD. This time I
was equipped with a digicam on a tripod. The shots from partition view
are located at

  As can be seen, with a pre-existing partition table and filesystems,
the partitioning system does not allow to change partition or mountpoint
attributes. The menu should contain more items, not just use/boot/size.

  Pretty weird.
