Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I have downloaded the Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix Release Candidate and am
attempting to install it on my Samsung NC10 netbook. The current
partition layout is:
Partition 1: ~6GB Samsung recovery partition (Blue)
Partition 2: ~70GB Windows XP Home partition (Green)
~70GB of free space (Silver)
When I get to the stage entitled "Prepare disk space", the information
presented does not make any sense even to a person who understands at
least the basics of drives and partitions.
When the default option of "Install them side by side, ..." is selected,
the green bar representing the Windows partition overlaps the proposed
Ubuntu partition. The Ubuntu partition is initially not visible, but
when I slide the slider to the left, the brown Ubuntu partition can be
seen "behind" the Windows partition.
When I select "Use the entire disk" the entire bar turns brown as
expected.
When I select "Use the largest continuous free space" the entire also
turns brown, which gives the impression that all data on my drive will
be lost if I select this option.
