I've just gone through the setup routine for Karmic and on the page after confirming the computer not to boot with degraded RAID, it doesn't warn against any partitions having their structure changed and only says that / and /boot are due to be formatted. This contrasts to Lucid where it warns /, /boot and /home will have their partition tables changed, and also mentioning that / and /boot will be formatted. Also noted using the Live Desktop CD that the new / and /boot partitions created by Lucid's setup routine ARE readable.

Karmic ISO: ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso

Lucid ISO: ubuntu-10.04-rc-alternate-amd64.iso

At the moment, the only way I have to get a clean install of Lucid onto my PC is to clean install Karmic first then upgrade.
