I've just installed and everything went as you described.

Only problem is with partitioning the hard disk.
I used to have 2 logical volumes for / and /home, and the installation has overwritten everything
with a single volume for /

It is not too bad since I did have nothing to save, but in the future when I reinstall I'd like to
save /home.

During the installation at some point (around the disk partitioning) I had a choice similar to

- use all disk
- replace linux system
- use free space

I chose the 2nd. Was it a bad choice?

Is there a chance to recreate the partitions and reinstall?

thanks
