Bug Description
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1, and when it got to the installation option screen, I felt like one of the options was confusing. There is an option that says something like: "Erase Ubuntu XX and reinstall."
I think this can easily be interpreted as erasing the previously installed version of Ubuntu, and re-installing the same version. It should say "Erase Ubuntu XX and install Ubuntu 11.04" to be more clear. This is a subtle thing, and most advanced users probably understand what to do, but some users may be confused.
