I chose "manual partition" & created a 7000 MB (which became 7007 MB) root partition and kept the existing 1373MB swap partition.
I don't understand why, but the manual partitioner says it formatted, fsck'ed, THEN it says it resized (!!) the ext4 partition, and now DRAT! it looks like it filled the empty space??? SO I clicked create a NEW partition table, but the screen didn't change, so I hit the BACK button and HMMM... now it shows the smaller 6.5GB partition there, with the (expected) 22.3GB free space in the middle. So this partitioner has some issues with manual partitioning! I'm going back through the manual partitioning, and I'm not going to format the partitions this time, because they look right. Now the partitioner is NOT showing the mount points, even if I specify them. It's also being coy about whether I'm choosing to format or not. Hard to tell what's going on. So I turned the "format this partition" checkbox back on and am proceeding. On the Ready to Install panel, I'm clicking the Advanced... button. It does show Install Boot Loader and It also apparently remembers I had popcon turned on before, because it's still on. (The preference must be stored on the USB stick somewhere.) I'm starting the installation now. This will take awhile, because this flash SSD is sloooow (just like the 4GB oem SSD, just larger). I'll file an update after it finishes. -- beta installer left ASUS EeePC 900 unbootable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
