I would have thought that this would be obvious, since:

* When installing this way, you give the installer only one password.
* It's documented on sudo's man page as the default behavior of sudo.

If you really want to do it, you can manually tell the parititioner to
keep the existing content of partitions, and when it asks "Proceed with

do that.
