Talk:UX/Partitioner

From openSUSE

Things to remember from discussion on opensuse-ux:

• perserve Windows partition
• estimate SWAP by multiplying RAM with 2x
• Partitioning during installation

  (x) I want to shrink Windows installation and use the free space
      for openSUSE installation
  ( ) I want to use all disks for openSUSE system
  ...
  ( ) I want to run an expert partitioner

I think there is still an issue that needs fixing: Simplifying the partitioning interface! Autopartitioner doesn't work for everyone, and with the system just text-based, it can be cumbersome and complicated to manage for someone with even some computer experience. I think look at Gparted, or Red Hat's, or Mandriva's (which I think is the best of all partitioners), they represent the disk as a graphical block with sections in them. That's what SUSE should do, IMHO. Kdupuy9 02:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
