Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Alpha testing with the Lucid x86 ISO image on 20100219, the step to configure partitions is missing from the installer. Talk on IRC is that question has been taken out, that Ubuntu desktop will install on a single partition, plus swap. NO NO NO NO NO!!!! Please do not do this!!!!
Please make some sort of accommodation for people who know what they are doing to still do custom partitioning from the standard installation CD.

I utilized the alternate CD from today (20100219) to at least get something installed. I was able to do the custom partitioning I wanted to, however the text mode installer is rather undesirable knowing how good Ubuntu's GUI installer has been. Took me quite a while to discover the Alternate CD's twist on mounting the CD just to install ubuntu-desktop. (Mounting to /cdrom/ rather than a mount point in the /media/ directory, no entry for the CD drive in the /etc/fstab, etc...)
Please please please put the partitioner back in the main install CD!!! :-)
