Comment 11 for bug 986797

I could just repeat it myself. But this was the partitioning layout:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted -l
[sudo] password for lance:

Yes, the 80GB drive was blank.

The Oneiric media:

Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012)

And the apt history log shows it was installed 2012-04-19, will attach.

Do you want me to repeat? If so should I use the same partition?

I currently have sda14, 17 ,and 18 unused.

Of course installing Oneiric + the upgrade will take approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
