[Bug 1290393] Re: WARN: / is world writable!

[codeslinger]

I used virtualbox to confirm the following

1) installer formats the disk = permissions are set correctly

2) install to an existing disk = it does not change the permissions for
that disk.

okay, so I guess it's not really a bug...  but it is not the behavior
that I would expect when doing an INSTALL
