I have an office with several computers.
And on them i already have windows installed.
And the installation differs from one to the other.
And so i have one problem, the partition where to install 
debian is everywhere another one.
That's all, i want to control the partition process.
Doing that automated seems to riskfull to me because
of the data that should remain on the other partitions.
