I am testing the desktop-i386 image on an old desktop machine right now. I've come across three problems so far:
1. The feisty installation on my laptop fails to burn the image using an external USB Combo drive (Model: TEAC DW-224E-B). Neither the "Write to disc..." context menu facility nor the cdrecord (now wodim) command line works with the external combo drive any more. It's a sad regression since the previous Ubuntu releases work well with this combo drive. 2. I chose the manual partition method. On the Edit a Partition window, the Mount Point drop-down menu was empty initially. Only after I typed in "/" and reopened the "Edit a Partition" window could it display a drop-down menu of possible choices. 3. The desktop has two hard drives. One is connected to the motherboard as primary master, and the other is connected to a Promise Ultra100 TX2 IDE controller card as tertiary master. The feisty live-cd recognizes the primary boot drive as /dev/sdb, and the tertiary master as /dev/sda. I am not sure if this could pose a problem when installing the Grub MBR. Let's see the result after the installer finishes its job later.
