Re: Skipping disk erase on Debian text-based installation (fwd)

[Nick Gawronski <nick@nickgawronski.com>]

Hi, I had to reinstall debian and like to encrypt my installations.  
Regardless of what installation image I use I find that no choice exists 
to not do the complete wiping of the disk before the LVM manager is 
setup.  I get that it will be possible to press control and c to stop 
the process but having an option like a choice in the last step asking 
if you wish to do this complete wipe would be better.  If the system was 
already encrypted and all you were doing was doing a reinstallation then 
going threw that process again to     me is pointless.  Is this 
something that could possibly be looked at for a future release? Nick
