... or even better,
a sequence (cca. 1 hour for every step to give the (l)user time to
understand what it means) if use entire disk is chosen:
1. ) Blank the screen, make it green output Arial 246 Bold red "THIS
WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR HARD DRIVE"
2. ) Let the output flash
3. ) Output the same way as above "ARE YOU REALLY SURE?"
The warning is there in the current installer but seems this is not
enough. ;o(
;o)))))
