:> FWIW, I *like* this feature very much. :)

:Ugh no way! Make it a seperate key or something, it's nice
:but it's not an adequite reaplcement for 'delete'
:.
Try it. build/install libdisk and sysinstall on -current and try
it. You won't screw up your system unless you actually commit :-).
Just go into sysinstall, select your hard disk, 'D'elete everything,
hit 'A'uto, and then play with 'D'elete in the auto'd stuff. Just
don't commit it :-)
Personally I think it is easy and straightforward, and no complexity
to a layperson installing the system. A separate key, or even JKH's
idea adds unnecessary complexity (though I am partial to having
partitioning templates, I think it's overkill for sysinstall because it
is simply not possible to cover all our bases for the more experienced
developers we would be targeting).
