Fair enough, so it's not just me then.
This time, I booted the install CD, went to the Ctrl-Alt-F2 screen
which has a root prompt and did:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde1 bs=1GB count=150
to each drive. Hopefully it'll all come out clean this time!
Cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon,
I was about to write you about some personal experiences on this subject, but I don't have time today. However, I _can_ share the "punch line": "That's why it's called a "clean" installation. You have to clean the old data out of the target partition(s) before installing."
regards,
