(Get the code!)
Ubuntu's reputation is certainly being harmed by this. There should be a 10.10.1 release, strictly because this bug is something that cannot be remedied by patching/updating after install. The installer is the problem, it is known to be dangerous, and continuing to distribute it this way is irresponsible and contemptuous. This should be urgently dealt with. Where is data security?
How does it look when you tell someone newly interested in Ubuntu how great it is, and then you provide them a CD along with a warning not to choose certain options during install? (Especially a "safe" side-by-side install?) ...And, if they get it wrong, they'll lose all the data on their hard drive.
This will without-a-doubt make people lose all faith in Ubuntu, and they won't even try it... and they won't try the next release either, and so on. Is this the first impression that wants to be conveyed?
