Revision history for this message
Cubic PPA (cubic-wizard) wrote :

Cubic excluded the /proc and /tmp directories from the compressed Linux file system on the customized ISO.

However, these directories are required by Ubiquity and are not automatically recreated during the installation process.

Cubic now includes the following *empty* directories:

    /proc
    /tmp
    /run

(The /run directory was always present, but it is now and empty directory).

Additionally, Cubic now excludes the /swapfile from the compressed Linux file system, since it is created by the OS.
