It will exit with error messages very often. This breaks the 'normal' Installation mode The Script wont recognized an already partitionated Harddisk. This will lead in a broken reformating and especially data-loss without questioning. In expert mode 'Partition a disk' will fail with a short Error Message. There should be possibilieties tu run "cfdisk -z".
