 This morning I wanted to test something on a fresh XS. So I downloaded the
 XS live CD and booted it on my desktop. I was asked for my type of
 keyboard, timezone and a root password. Then the installer started to
 FORMAT ONE OF MY DISK!! It didn't request any confirmation or asked me
 which disk to use. It just picked one and format it. Thanks to this, I
 lost 120 Go of data.

 I was naively thinking the few questions asked was to setup the live
 environnement as [1] says we have to type "./olpc-install" to start the
 install process.
 I never wanted to install it on my desktop, now my data are lost and I'm
 fucked...
