We can leave those as is then.

Already done that. As a matter of fact there are 2 warnings, first is 
just info: "Select the disk on which to install IPCop. The installation 
program will then partition the disk, put filesystems and files onto it. 
This means loosing ALL information on the disk!"

Second is an additional newt window, asking for confirmation: "Are you 
sure you want to continue and loose ALL information on the disk."

In this case a simple <enter> will abort, the user must move to the OK 
button before be able to continue.

Exactly.

OK. I also noticed some problem with summertime (I'd really wish they 
drop that **(censored)** soon), the difference seems wrong.
