Hey, I just reported a bug. Happens that the LiveCD installer has other limitations related to the Partitioner, which I mentioned, but all that took place months ago. So not really my problem any more.
Lot of people comment they cannot follow what I write. Others say the look for my posts because of my attack on things. You seem to be a member of the first group, which is the larger of the two. See, here is the thing: I do something, there has to be a reason for it. If it doesn't go well, I try to state something related and decide what to do next. I am describing a process I went through, but you just want the steps themselves. Alright, try this: (1) Boot the 9.04 LiveCD. Pick Install (2) Answer the leading questions about language and all. Screen is like zoomed in. buttons on bottom out of sight. Used Ctrl+F to advance page (3) Wait for Partitioner to come up. Looks strange, like being zoomed in on choices. Cannot see extent of colored lines either left or right. See no legend to indicate which hard drive, which partition, or if looking at same drive twice or seeing two drives. (4) All page advances until last require Ctrl+F, as buttons are below bottom of screen. This did not work for last page. Tried other combinations with Ctrl, no help. Later guess was that Ctrl+I might have worked, because last button labeled Install rather than Forward. (5) As included in bug, would have been more useful if I knew exactly what choices (1) and (2) would do on a multi-OS or multi-disk system. Or have other choices if such complexity were to present itself. Another problem not included is that you cannot always conclude that /dev/sda is going to be the boot drive or that it involve the 1st partition. Advanced gives you option to change, but it is not able to solve this on its own. I think that will have to suffice. -- ubuntu 9.04 Installer Partitioning Problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
