I do manual installs like that regularly. Hence the earlier requests for details. The original post doesn't give enough details. I could have answered "yes" to the $subject, and yet there might be installation scenarios where the installer fails. More details needed! > So, while I don't see why it couldn't be made to work, I also am not > surprised to hear it doesn't. It's the opposite here. I'm surprised manual partitioning would fail. If you point the installer at usable partitions for / and /boot, why would it fail? Of course, some users try to set up dubious/questionable environments to begin with, such as /boot shared by multiple distributions and things like that. Personally, I only share /home and a couple of optional mount points. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
