okay, give me a few hours... and I will do another repro using vbox. But I have already reprod this 3 times using a real hard disk partition.
basically.... I have a multiboot system with about a dozen partitions... but I'm sure you don't need anywhere near that many to repro this. to install the test os first using a different os, open a shell and log in as root do a cd to top level of the partition where you want to do the new install do an rm -R * (don't make any mistakes!!!!) reboot do an install select Something Else manually select the partiton for the new os Do NOT format... no need... then do rest as usual... result: this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290393 Title: WARN: / is world writable!
