Public bug reported: If you install the server edition of ubuntu (hardy beta i386) and mount an existing partition for example in /var/data/ during installation, all your files on that mount point will get deleted.
The problem is that the installer doesn't warn you, it says that it will keep the existing data. The desktop installer in contrast warns you! I have attached a screen shot which compares the two installers. best wishes Achim ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Server installer does not warn that files on /boot, /etc, /usr, /var get deleted during installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207752 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
