I know this is a bug reporting area but I think this is the best place where I can place my request since you are doing some changes to the installer.

Can we have a seperate partition for /home and / automatically while installing?
Also, Can we have an option to re-use the space used by an existing Linux installation if the installer detects one? The option should be something like this

[ * ] Reuse the existing Linux space

This option is available in Fedora 11 Installer

These two options will ease out the installation procedure a lot more. The reason I am asking is that most people are all at sea when formatting or partitioning hard drives. Even, I have seen developers who are working in the Linux environment shying away from installing or partitioning.

Thanks and sorry again for placing my request at the wrong place.
