The risk that the user might nuke the partitions containing Windows is always there regardless of what distro you use. You still make the same decisions, fdisk, cfdisk and gparted are still there.

This is the part where I point out (for the benefit of readers *other* than Alan, probably) that the user, if he is going to have to (re)install Windows, is at risk of nuking the partitions already containing Windows/Linux/SkyOS/$MYFAVOS anyway. "Whether you click here, click ok then say 'oops' or type 'fdisk c:' <some stuff> then say 'oops' you're still gonna say 'oops'". Last I heard, btw, Windows was still using a nasty type-at-me-don't-click partitioner. My £0.02 Jeff. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
