Bug Description
I tried to install Dapper Flight 7 in my laptop. I used personalized HD partition, and created / as ext3, /home and /mnt/space as xfs. Then, the install program formats all three partitions as ext3 instead of xfs.
On the other hand, I wanted to use reiser4 for a partition, and LiveCD gave me the option, but then the partition was formated as ext3.
I needed to download install CD in order to get xfs partitions (no Reiser4 option available).

I believe that this should be fixed in current daily builds. Would you mind giving a current build a try?
reiser4 is not supported by the Ubuntu kernel, and thus not by any of our installation methods. It was only offered in the live CD installer by mistake (bug 32075), which has since been corrected.
