In my experience Calamares is not capable of changing a file system type. What
I or we need to try is if the Calamares partition manager has the capability to
delete a partition of one fs type and create a new partition of another fs
type. It's a maybe until someone confirms yea or nay. IMO this needs to be
tested on hardware.
If the above is possible then I need to get it in Release Notes.</pre>
