The fact that you can choose the installation disk is really a bug (the 
welcome
message states that you should only install to your boot disk), but 
there's something
wrong with the way we build the installer package so that setting the 
"install
on boot disk only" flag causes more problems than it solves.

For this installer you cannot really chose where to install things: all 
paths
are pretty much fixed. I should add a note about this to the welcome 
message
(except that that will make it go off the edge of the window even 
more:-).
