Well, since this is the one of the few (only?) destructive actions the installer takes I can certainly see why being really clear could be considered an improvement. That said, I have never had this problem myself but maybe that's because I only very rarely install on multi-boot systems. I don't need this particular feature but it won't bother me if it is implemented either. > Hell no!

I can remember when people said similar things about the installer in the early 2000's. Funny how it has been improved since then with all kinds of stuff, like not having to manually calculate the slice sizes and deal with LBA/CHS etc. Cheers, Lars
