Bug Description
I was installing and the installer couldn't define the HDD to install. I had 3 HDD installed on the computer. One is running W7. The small one, 240Gb, was with U11.10 running. It did not try to install on it; it tried to install parallel to W7 with no other option. When I choose the U11.10 HDD to be the recepient it ask for repartition it; it was going back and forth and keep asking for the root. I took all partitions out and tried to let the installer choose its options. It did not. When I click on Quit to abort the installation and start from scratch, the installer crashed. Sorry I'm totally new to Ubuntu and Linux as well. Ubuntu has not been friendly at all setting up a network connection (wired, this is a desktop) or wireslly through my Linksys E3000 router and the PCs and Macs. Sorry, but Ubuntu sounds like a malfunction toy from my perspective. It is not intuitive and a lot of confusion is going on. i.e. there is no documentation addressing this issue; it seems more the issue from Ubuntu's perspective that issues are taking place in the wireless environment. It is not the case.
I'll appriciate any help. Thank you.
