Ok, I tried only formatting the partition with gparted, which told me to restart because my drive has an ntfs partition. On my 10gb disk I have a 4gb ntfs partition and a newly created 5.5gb ext2 partition. My swap is .5gb.
After the reboot I launched the installer and clicked next until it got to step 6, which is the mountpoint setup screen Joel Stanley previously mentioned. It did the same for me in setting the swap partition first and the root filesystem second. I left this as is and clicked next to the installation overview screen and then clicked install...And it worked! I'm not sure where this places the error, but it probably has something to do with the Espresso Partitioner. The Espresso Partitioner is based on GParted, so maybe this is a problem of an outdated version of GParted being used in Espresso. -- no root file system https://launchpad.net/bugs/42003 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
