Affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When using expresso to install ubuntu, it launches gparted to setup the
partition table.

I tell it where to mount my partitions, but there is no option to not
format the ext3 partitions.

It needs to format / but not /home, but I cannot tell it not to do this.

If there IS the option somwhere, it is too hidden and new users will not
be able to find it.

I tried not to tell gparted about my hdb7 at all, but it still wants to
format it on the basis that it's an ext3 partition.
