Jane Doe 439fef644e Add: 'Filesystem Selection': Ext4 > Dedicated /Home partition > The installer offers to create a /Home partition or utilize a previously-used unencrypted /Home partition
If a previously-used unencrypted /Home partition is set to be used, the installer will offer only the 'Manual Partitioning Mode' for the involved drive.
Change: 'Encryption Setup': This stage has been overhauled and greatly simplified from the user's perspective.
The installer automatically detects if a /Home partition should be encrypted or re-used as unencrypted, according to previous user input.
If LUKS encryption has been selected, the installer will always switch to 'Auto Mode' to format & mount partitions, for user convenience.
If no encryption has been selected, the installer will offer both 'Auto Mode' and 'Manual Mode' to format & mount partitions.
Also, the installer no longer asks the user to label the encrypted partitions, as it's done automatically.
Change: A few prompts have been edited for better aesthetics.
