No Warning / Confirmation Before Formating a Partition in LM17 Install

[Aaron]

I'm reinstalling LM 17. I have root (/), home (/home), and swap partitions. For re-installation I simply format the root partition, and point the install to use the /home and swap I already have setup. So, the big problem is I selected my root partition and set it to be formatted, but when I clicked the install button there was no warning or confirmation before formating began. Though I do like an expedient install, if i had absentmindedly selected the wrong partition to format I would now be in a world of hurt.

So, for sanity reasons (and absentminded, quick-clicking Linux newbies), a warning dialog box with info about what is about to be destroyed would be a highly recommended and serendipitous addition to the installation process.
