How did you get past the screen that only lets you pick a whole disk
drive then, as the only possible option after that, click "Done"?
(Or, as I did the first time I saw it, push the reset button :-).

No power on earth could get me to click "Done" under those circumstances
when installing on a system that contains data I want to preserve.
Only after trying the install on a totally trashable test system
did I find that "Done" actually means, "OK, now you get to pick
partitions."

I don't have enough trust available to believe that they surely
won't actually wipe out the whole disk (especially when every
other part of the redesign has been to reduce or eliminate options).
