Hi This is driving me up the wossname wall. Any suggestions? Was true for dapper and is true for edgy:
I don't like and won't use the default partitioning. On most of my systems it will be (1) 10G /, (2) 1G swap, (3) rest /home To re-install a different distro etc just blot out /. Boot CD. Choose install. Manually partition. [Forward] /\ Warning No root partition. Stuck here. -- Any blind toad on a rainy day can read: / /dev/hda1 Any 'cheats' to say proceed anyway? So far my only solution has been multiple tries, sometimes making entries /home /dev/hda3 swap /dev/hda2 / /dev/hda1 or swapping the order hda1, hda2, hda3 some times deleting hda1 then re-creating it works. Typical install 30min + 45min fart-arsing around to NOT get 'no root partition'. Of course, he bemoaned glumly, you let the installer choose partitions automatically and all is well except the /home you were trying to keep is toast.
