Much consideration went into the new installer UI specifically to make it more clear when existing data is going to be removed.

I'll have to run the installer without actually going beyond the point 
of writing to disk. I remember there were three items to delete but I 
think they were all on the "new" HD [on which I had done rm -fr *] and I 
just clicked delete for them all. I still have a mental image but can't 
read the details!

Actually I think the present situation might really be preferred [by 
me]. Much like bringing up the BIOS setup screen with DEL at turn on I 
press "F9" and get a boot menu, select the hard drive I want and proceed 
with one of the grub screens, different but not a real problem. I kind 
of like the idea of completely separate systems. I also have a copy of 
F20b in a VMware VM which works well enough using XFCE instead of the 
unfathomable Gnome3.
