I've just noticed that... when I saw some references to a function
called "IsRecognizedPartition" whose declaration I couldn't find inside
the setup directory! Clearly it isn't specific to the program but it
makes part of the kernel or something else...
I thought setup discovered the partition type by looking at its hex
number in the partition table... My idea was making the setup recognise
more partition types (in order to inform the user of it when in the
partitioning screen). Then, instead of writing "Type 142", it would
write "Linux LVM", even having no idea on how LVM works...
That would be useful (making the setup recognising partition types
without working with them) because, with "unknown" partitions on the
disk, users can make confusion and misidentify them, thus making bad
changes on the disk...
