Because (as I remarked earlier) there are people who have other Linux
flavors on their harddisk before they try Mageia - what if they do
their partitioning with those (i.e. CentOS)?
Again, people do not work all the same. There are people who do their
partitioning with 3rd-party apps like gparted or others. There are
people who like to have a bootloader in the root partition of each
Linux they install (using chainloader in the first Linux' grub), etc.
IMHO it is a bad idea to make LVM default, because there are too many
cases around where people would not want LVM. LVM as an option is a
far better solution and let the user decide what he wants.
