'Automatic' gives too much uncertainty about what's going to happen to existing partitions.
I don't like the term 'Wizard' either because I think MS has gotten worse and worse by using wizards that contain endless dialogs and take away control from more experienced users for even the most basic tasks. I don't consider PartMan to be a Wizard; it's just an excellent front-end to everything to to with partitioning, formatting and mount point selection. Why not just use 'advanced partition management'? 2 more cents... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
