Public bug reported:
I tried to install xubuntu 16.04. It took me about 2 hours!!! because of
multiple errors I found in the GUI installation process. Because I
wanted to install on already partitioned drive I choose advance path.
Reproduce
1) Run xubuntu live cd,
2) When OS will load all GUI push install xubuntu icon
3) Select Advance method
4) Assign partition /boot to external flashdisc with ext2 partition (I'm sure
it's unmounted)
5) Now If you will mark to format that /boot partition installation process
will not be able to format that drive without any message or warning. You can't
go back, cancel the process so the only solution is one to reset computer or
xkill GUI installation app. If you however uncheck 'formatting' /boot partition
then installation process will go further without any problems.
