Ah I actually started to think of a point... Ubiquity always has problems
sometimes. These few days it has become more unstable then before. I have
never reported a bug in the ISO QA Tracker, but jsut these few days I
reported 2. Not good.

I agree with A. Grandi! The alternate installer is *much* more stable

I second the community vote idea, as well. The other *buntus are very
likely to follow suit, so I believe in at least giving the public a
heads-up.

FYI -- as spoken of earlier, here's the details on dropping the
alternate
installer in 12.10. Again, this is just for ubuntu, and not a decision
for
any flavors. As far as I know, no flavors have committed to dropping
the
alternate cd's. This transition will occur with the next milestone,
which is
Beta 1. As part of this, we'll need to migrate the alternate testcases
and
add new testcases in support of the new features in ubiquity. Thanks!
so you have already decided? I did think there was a discussion before
proceding, but it looks like this change will already take its effect
starting from the next beta. Don't you think we should ask first the
community what they think about? It's non sense that in less than 24
hours you start the discussion on ubuntu-devel and you have already
decided for everyone. I can't get it, sorry.
Let me say that this is the worst idea ever proposed! I won't be able
to use Ubuntu on my desktop anymore because I'm using a RAID 1 setup
and I want to do a safe installation not using some workaround later
after installation and risking to loose my data.
Even more, alternate install CD is the only way for some PC to
complete the installation. You can't imagine how many time I had to
use alternate installer because ubiquity was freezing.
I really cannot understand how you can propose something that will
make Ubuntu worse than it is,
We're supposed to make Ubuntu BETTER not worse.

As Brendan said, I would encourage those of you who have concerns to post
them back to the ubuntu-devel list @ Steve et la for discussion. If you
remember back to UDS, the original idea as discussed was that no
functionality would be lost (aka, the live cd would get support for
everything the alternate cd could do). They've come close, but RAID
support
didn't quite happen.
Note that If the alternates are dropped for ubuntu, going forward, if you
wish to install with RAID (or simply want to use an alternative
installer)
you still have the option of using the netboot or mini iso.

Ubuntu is dropping something that people love, see:
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/yydbp/ubuntu_alternate_cds_could_be_dropped_for_1210/
In favor of something that Ubuntu created. Have I seen this before?
Never mind that some percentage of people can't use the Desktop
installer. Think of it as a little surprise for new users.
