Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
After installing over a former RH I discovered that the contents of /home
had been rm -R *. I think that is an extemely bad idea. I can not see any
use doing so, but I can see a ---lot--- of grief for people (my case
;-) loosing all their data. Please don't do it. Remove that from the
scripts. please.

PS: Randolf Chung, have you recieved my answer to a former bug post? I'm
not sure whether it got posted because my web-mail seemed
malfunctioning...

User is confused, I think. We don't rm -rf /home, but it does
repartition partitinos if told to. Closing this.
