Before I could report my last "manual install" results they'd begun a rebuild. So, once it was done, I repeated a live test followed by two "side-by-side" tests.
The first I did with three "occupied" (one was a SWAP) primary partitions on sdb and no free space. The installation worked as expected, that is I got the common screen telling which partition would be resized, allowing for the option to choose advanced partitioning. I think that's great! No more buttons to confuse noobs ;^) The next I did after deleting some partitions on sdb so there was about 35 to 40GB of free space and I let her rip! It all worked fine, I just still question if another screen should follow indicating which free space/which device is going to be used. What if someone had a live iso running on a fairly large flash drive with an additional partition? Or if they'd left a data drive with free space plugged in? I'm just looking for what could possibly go wrong. But I'm absolutely unsure. The one person that I know for sure shouldn't make the final decision is me! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652852 Title: Ubiquity doesn't suggest to install on unallocated free space -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
