Using it is real easy, pleasant, and fast.  One thing that I got wrong a
couple of times is to actually select a suggested option while
partitioning, I pressed TAB and RET (like in previous screens), then
selecting the button that is clearly marked EXIT.  Then it tries to
continue with a non-partitioned or badly partitioned drive, which then
may give an unexpected error.

Clearly a user error, not a problem and I also do not have a better
suggestion.  Also, my mistake was very obvious to me later.

Good call.  I verified that the test fails without it..
