manual partitioning while installation

[Oleg Artemiev]

Have a good time.

There's a problem with qubes when it is being installed as third boot OS. !st two eat /boot/efi space and then installation fails with insufficient space in /boot/efi .

There're two problems:

1. It's okay to have two efi partitions on a drive, thus Qubes should create a new efi partition if space on /boot/efi is not sufficient. Even more - why not to create second /boot/efi by default and thus save us from possible installation failure?

2. The Qubes installation program should show the partitioning with ability to alter installer disk map by user. If it could be that way I could create /boot  & /boot/efi, reboot and on second try I will get installation succeed. But it's not & thus installation fails.

3 I'll have to install the Qubes w/o encryption to get a clue about mounts installer makes to clone partitioning by hands next time. That is not convenient. Ideally Qubes should have a help about partitioning it makes, so users will get a howto to make partitioning by hands if automation fails for some reason. Sample fail I described above.
