Hello all,

I've also tested below procedure to see if there's any impacts on resizing "non-NVMe" devices by using the mini.iso enabling the installer to fetch necessarry components from -proposed.

Here's the mini.iso URL I've tested: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-proposed/main/installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu451.18/images/netboot/mini.iso

Test phases:

1. Created a QEMU-KVM virtual machine with qcow2 formatted IDE BUS disk (/dev/sda)
2.I installed a Ubuntu 16.04 system on that qemu-kvm virtual machine via passing "apt-setup/proposed=true" value to the installers boot parameters without problem. I also used guided partitioning on the disks and continued with the installation.
3. I ensured that the VM is working without problems after installation.
4. I rebooted the VM with that mini.iso again with the same "apt-setup/proposed=true" parameter value to the ubuntu installer and resized the disk succesfully to an another size. Installed the system again on the new partitions without problems.
5. Ensured that the VM is working without problems after installation.
