Then I got this crash report during installation :^(

I'm attaching a screenshot of what partitioning looked like.

Does Cache() object have __exit__ available in precise?

In precise:

Please see this comment:

My memory is not good by any means but is it normal for "change partition" to default to "do not use"?

I've never really paid attention that much :^/

It appears we want this commit:
