I've been following that thread and even had a quick look at the
libparted manual, but it's too damned obscure for a simple quick
look... What I propose is that we concentrate first on installing to a
full drive and to empty space. An old teacher of mine taught me as a
kid that you should always answer the easier questions on a test
first, to put them behind you... :)

I believe a first version of the installer would be functional enough
with a simple note that you should use a liveCD if you need to resize
partitions. Let's get something working first, then build from there.
