Comment 4 for bug 107259

Hi,

I've just spent nearly an hour yesterday finding a work-around for this bug, when I installed Xubuntu Feisty on my mother's old PC.

As we first tried around with Ubuntu Feisty, the harddisk contained two partition, an ext3 partition with half an Ubuntu installation and a swap partition. Asking Ubiquity to delete the two partitions and re-create them resulted in the described error, as did keeping the partitions and just asking for formatting. 1

From my experience with Ubuntu Dapper on my laptop, I had boasted that installing (X)Ubuntu is a matter of a quarter of an hour, and this was quite a disappointment, and an inexperienced user will probably not manage to install Xubuntu at all.

Hence, do you guys intend to modify the Xubuntu 7.04 ISO image to include the fix? If not, or not very soon, a remark with link to the work-around given above might be necessary. After all, the bug affects all installation involving repartitioning or reformatting, which is nearly always the case.

Cheers
