I've just tried to install feisty-desktop-i386.iso (Xubuntu version) on my T21 laptop, which has already 7 partitions.
In step 5 (of 7) of the installing procedure, I select "Manual"
- I want to mount /dev/hda1 (ntfs) to /media/windows
- I want to set the mount point of /dev/hda2 to / and check the "Format?" button
- I want to set the mount point of /dev/hda6 to /home (which is my old /home) without the formatting option
Bugs observed and reproduced:
- Editing partition /dev/hda1 does not allow to change the proposed mount point /dev/hda1
- The formatting option of the button of "/" disappears
- Editiing partition /dev/hda7: "Use as" field is empty (I have to set it to ext3 by hand)
- The mount point /home of /dev/hda6 disappears (is sometimes reset to the empty string, sometimes not)
- The format button of /dev/hda6 is checked for formatting and cannot be unchecked |

All in all, the Desktop CD is useless for me, for it would destroy my /home. |
