(Get the code!)
I just did what I've said earlier: I started the installation of
Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe-5 on my laptop. The 5% stop with mount.ntfs
happened again, with the same solution. So in my case the problem is
repeatable.
And now for something completely different... ;-)
I noticed that the current installer is stubborn and doesn't want to
install over an empty, existing ext3 partition (I just did 'rm -rf *'
there) and insists on formatting it, as well as swap partition (sic!).
Having partitions in /etc/fstab mounted via UUID= (which is changed
upon reformat) means to me that I am forced to manually edit all fstab
files in other Linux systems I have on this machine. Sigh...
Plus, in the 'Edit partition' popup the partitioner doesn't allow a
simple 'Advanced' button to specify additional options for mounting a
partition - like PCLOS or SUSE have for example. Just the filesystem
size, type and mount point, rest are plain defaults. I can work around
it and I know how, but... Sigh.
