Hi,
I currently have a laptop running buster on an encrypted disk that boots via EFI. The filesystems look like this: /dev/mapper/tangier--vg-root / /dev/mapper/tangier--vg-home /home /dev/sda1 /boot/efi /dev/sda2 /boot I know I can easily upgrade to bullseye from the running system. However, what I usually do when it's time to upgrade Debian on a laptop is to start from a clean slate. It's my chance to clean up and remove old cruft (well, with the exception of my own home partition, of course). So, instead of upgrading, I just install the new version of Debian. Now, my problem is that, whenever I launch the installer, it wants to partition the disk. Is there a way to tell the installer to leave the existing partitioning scheme alone? Also, I'd need the installer to leave the home partition alone, and format and install over the other partitions. Is this possible? If so, how? I've been trying different approaches, and I don't seem to be able to find the way to do it. Thanks. -- Nitebirdz
