[Feature Request] Selection of disk when multiple disks are present #9

Closed DataDrake closed 7 years ago

DataDrake commented 8 years ago

If all someone wants to do is dedicate a secondary or primary disk to Solus while leaving the others alone, currently the only way for them to install is through Manual partitioning. Would be nice if they could just select a whole drive and then do the auto-partitioning.

It already has automatic partitioning, what is the issue?

DataDrake commented 8 years ago

So let's say I have this configuration:

/dev/sda - Windows /dev/sdb - files (ntfs) /dev/sdc - Empty

If I wanted to auto-partition /dev/sdc and put Solus on that drive. How would I tell the installer to do that? It seems like I would need some way to specify the disk to do this without manual partitioning.

By selecting the drive from the drop-down menu in the installer and telling it to automatically partition it? :)

does that already exist? sorry if it does
