Comment (by pulkomandy):
I don't think we should use Installer to upgrade an existing system
(option 2). Rather this should be done from the running system, either
using SoftwareUpdater or some tool provided on the install DVD but run
from the existing system. Maybe Installer can provide some info about how
to do it.
In option 1 we can start with "wipe whole drive" option. Unfortunately
with EFI we are not just going to create a single partition on the drive.
LAter on we can see about smarter options: replacing just one partition,
or even resizing the existing OS partition to make some space for
ourselves.
Option 3 would indeed be very nice but possibly more complicated to get
working. I would focus on 1 first.
