Hi Colin The extra pop-up would help because: 1. the installer is doing something subtly different than I asked it to do (i.e. silently checking the format checkbox) 2. the final confirmation is two steps after the event and by default I have to scroll to see the full list of partitions to be formatted This is definitely a bit of an edge case but the silent checking of the format box caught me out. I have no doubt that if I'd been prompted with a dialogue warning me I was potentially about to lose data, I'd have realised what was going on and been able to fix without resorting to backups
I was using the graphical CD -- Installer disk layout utility does not warn sufficiently before formatting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273925 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
