This affects me too. IMHO this is a grave usability regression and should at least be addressed as known issue in the release notes.
As with any new install, I spent time checking through all the known issues, then decided to go ahead and install. As I'm installing on a not-so-fast tablet pc, the whole process of booting the Ubuntu CD, resizing Windows partition, rebooting into Windows for its disk check (which does a reboot of its own), rebooting again into Ubuntu CD, running install, only to find out that the only way to install into free space is to do the old hackish 'whip out the calculator and a scratchpad and roll your own partition layout' is simply _unacceptable_ anno 2010. Please fix this! -- Ubiquity doesn't suggest to install on unallocated free space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652852 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
