Colin, wish you were here - you certainly would get me right in no time at all. But that's not possible - so I'll try to explain my problem better. I just started the edgy-ubiquity on the box in question - everything works as expected. I then started the new version coming with feisty. I choose "Partitiontable manual". I want to install Feisty on /dev/sdb1 (root) and /dev/sdb2 (swap). I do not want to change any partition size. I highlight the line reading /dev/sdb1 ext3 /media/sdb1 6448 MB That's fine, there is an existing ext3 with an old edgy test installation. So I click "Edit Partition". A new window pops up telling me: New partition size: 0 # zero use as: ext3 mountpoint: /media/sdb1 From this point on I'm lost. I do not know the precise partition size, so I can't correct 0 to the right value in MB. To be able to read better the main window, I dragged the "Edit Partition" Window a bit aside. Strange enough: The value for new partition size jumped from 0 to 2000. Weird ... As I do not want to change my partition layout, I cancel the installation. Uuuuh ...
