Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I just tried to install the Intrepid RC.
It took a while to start up the partitioning step, then ended up defaulting to resizing my sdb, which was already fully allocated as an NTFS file system.
My sda was already pre-partitioned with an 80 GB ntfs partition (my existing Windows Vista installation) and an empty 80 GB ext3 partition that I wanted to install Ubuntu on.
Firstly, I think it should have defaulted to sda.
Secondly, all the quick choices all pertained to sdb, so I had to choose the final "Custom" (or "Manual"?) option; it should have made it easier to use sda if it wasn't the installer's guess.
| summary: |
- the default installation drive offered by the installer was a poor - choice + Give a choice of which drive to use for guided installs |
