Comment 17 for bug 655950

Certainly prospective new users who have spent a couple of days trying to get their Windows system back to where it was before they tried installing 10.10 won't be filing bug reports. They probably feel more like filing a law suit :-)
"Won't fix" - now there's a statement!
"Won't listen" may be more appropriate!

It's not rocket science guys. Once somebody has chosen "install alongside", the options "Use Entire Disc" or "Use Entire Partition" are redundant and can only serve to confuse people who may be new to installing anything.
But that's not the worst of it!
Choosing to "install alongside" and then being able to trash the system you intend to "install alongside" is just potty!

I really don't understand the retiscence in regard to seeing the difficulties here, nevermind doing something about it.
People have posted here and in the forums, as Erick Brunzell has stated, about losing their existing system because they made a "mistake" when using the 10.10 installer. I don't agree that they made a mistake. I think the installer is wrong.
I don't think the ability to make that "mistake" should exist at all.

This is not a "problem" - this is a showstopper for prospective Linux users.
A disaster waiting to happen.
