Public bug reported: I've just tried to install feisty-desktop-i386.iso (Xubuntu version) on my T21 laptop, which has already 7 partitions.
In step 5 (of 7) of the installing procedure, I select "Manual" - I want to mount /dev/hda1 (ntfs) to /media/windows - I want to set the mount point of /dev/hda2 to / and check the "Format?" button - I want to set the mount point of /dev/hda6 to /home (which is my old /home) without the formatting option Bugs observed and reproduced: - Editing partition /dev/hda1 does not allow to change the proposed mount point /dev/hda1 - The formatting option of the button of "/" disappears - Editiing partition /dev/hda7: "Use as" field is empty (I have to set it to ext3 by hand) - The mount point /home of /dev/hda6 disappears (is sometimes reset to the empty string, sometimes not) - The format button of /dev/hda6 is checked for formatting and cannot be unchecked ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Preparing partition step in installer fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/88930 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
