A warning to all testers: I wanted to install the current daily image
to perform this weeks tests and used today's live image. The installer
recognized both the previous Natty installation and my productive
system, an Arch Linux installation and proposed several installation
possibilities, one of them: deleting the Natty install and installing
the new system on its partition. I've chosen this possibility and
thought that it would format the Natty partition and my /home
partition would be save.  But due to some bug or maybe a misleading
description it deleted all the files from my user's home folder! Also,
it seems to have formatted one whole data partition (it was mounted as
/target in the live session, though the partition with the old Natty
install continued the installer files, too).

So be warned and better use the alternate CD (I hope, the bug isn't
present there). And backup your data!
