Actually I might change it to 'format', the trick is to find a word
the most people will understand.  It is also generally better to
say what you are going to do, rather than what you are not going to do.

These is scope for a longer legend on the 'editing the partition' screen
(one field per line there).  Also someone could write some 'help' texts
for the screens (although they might have to be excluded from install_tiny).
