Bug Description
I just installed Kubuntu flight-7 and had to repartition my drive in order to get beyond the 2355 minimum size bug (reported as bug #45147).
My hard-drive setup:
hda1 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 >
/boot (extd) /home swap / /usr
150MB 30GB 1GB 2.3GB 4.3GB
This is after the re-partitioning - the only difference is that hda7 and hda8 had different sized before (hda7 was 2GB, hda8 was 4.6GB). So I deleted them both and re-created them with the sized shown above - all was done from within the installer. I then proceeded to format them both as ext3.
When setting up the partitions, I checked the boxes for formating all partitions _except_ my /home partition (hda5). However, the installation has just completed, and all my partitions are formated (including hda5).
Yea, ok, so my purty partition setup ascii is shown differenty after posting than in the edit-box. Anyway, hope you see what I mean - I've no idea how to do the equivalent of HTML's pre-tag here (if it's even possible), and since there's no option to preview- before- posting I don't feel like experimenting too much with it :P
