Comment 11 for bug 47949

I'm sorry, I don't buy the destruction angle at all. You get a working OS at the end of this installer and you can make menu.lst boot other operating systems with a pretty small amount of work. People with complicated multi-boot systems can handle editing a single configuration file. Don't throw terms like "plain destruction" around unnecessarily; it's crying wolf.

With regard to detecting BeOS and BSD, thank you, but it would help me considerably if you would file a separate bug about *just that issue*, like I asked. I also don't especially like relying on partition types; in my experience it is much, much more reliable to look at the contents of the filesystem.
