My problem is clear enough: when you reach the page where you have to
choose how to partition your disk: *the only choice you have is to click
a button "automatic partition""

So
1- you have no choice!

2- you fear to loose everything on your disk

This is the usual and stupid conclusion on every "hotline": we are
perfect, our tools are perfectly working and every user asking questions
is wrong, has a bad configuration, is unable to understand anything....
is a dumb person.
