The first time I saw this "before" graph, I thought I had to click on one of 
the colors
to modify the partition, as it is with Gparted, or as it is with Diskdrake in 
the rpm
distributions. 

Now I still put my sight on the last option to do "something else", that's to 
say
modify the partitions with the mode closest to the older way. This is how I am 
sure not to
mistake. I would even say that the almost non graphical partition tool in the
alternate installer is easier, and once it has been used once or twice, it is 
less
confusing than the one integrated in the installer in the graphical mode.

a "before/after" might not be exactly what the guy in front of his screen will 
understand
best, but a clear message as said by someone else in the thread said "all data 
will be
erased and lost including your personal file, except if you did a backup on 
another media
before starting > Continue or Give up ?".  :)
