Public bug reported:
I just tried installing herd 5 using the alternate cd but couldn't get
past the partition stage.
My drive has a win ntfs partition, then a fat32 and then I had let the
edgy install use the remaing space and it created a swap and /. I
deleted these before trying herd 5 so there was just freespace at the
end of the drive.
At the partitioning stage of the install I got 4 choices, the first was
something about a cd? which I didn't understand then three 'guided'
options, there was no manual option that I could see. I tried the
'guided use free space' option but it just goes to a red screen with a
message about there being no root partition allocated. There are two
buttons, continue and go back, IIRC. Clicking either just reloads the
red warning screen so I had to restart and abandon install.
I checked the md5sum of both the iso and the burnt cd and they were
fine.
I was trying to install on my laptop (fujitsu-siemens pi1505) that has a
sata disk but this wasn't a problem when I installed edgy.
