Non destructive install is important.

[Ian Soutar]

I have mentioned this before ... is there a solution?

The new install of 6.06.1 release insists on formatting the / drive. 
However all distributions of linux allow you leave it unformatted in 
case you want to preserve something.

I believe this is a bug because it forces me to format the drive and 
restore it from an external drive. Now I can do this and have been force 
to in the last install.

However for the first-time user of linux this is perplexing and it 
should be as easy as version 6.06.

Is the fix forthcoming?

Thanks,
Ian Soutar
