Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Kubuntu i386 Live USB 20100902.1
Selected "Guided - use entire partition, SCSI1 (0,0,0) partition #1 (sda)" to install on a system with an existing Kubuntu install. I expected there to be some kind of feedback and "guidance" on the install. Instead it just overwrote the existing install with a new one.
This is apparently what is supposed to happen, but it is absolutely NOT clear that the existing installation, including user data, will be wiped out.

This should not say "Guided" in ubiquity - that terminology is supposed to be confined to d-i.
