Public bug reported:
**Background**
I saw this bug during an aborted install of elementary os and originally filed
it here: https://github.com/elementary/pantheon-installer/issues/43
Another User commented that I may have hit the wrong bugtracker because
the stable version of elementary uses ubiquity from ubuntu. So I re-post
it here, the closest bugtracker I could find in 15 minutes.
If I hit the wrong bugtracker again I would be thankful if someone
redirects this issue to the appropriate corner on the internet..
**What happened:**
I am planning to install elementary (for my wife) on a separate partition
alongside my existing Arch/Antergos install.
I booted from the usb-key, selected "Install" and aborted the installer
after selecting the "download updates during install" stage. (Forgot to
backup something :-) )
After rebooting to antergos I found that the installer had changed the
hostname _on the arch root partition_ to "elementary".
**Expected behaviour:**
The installer should never touch the root partition of an existing linux (or
other os) on the machine if I did not choose to delete it completely
(exception: update grub).
The installer should not touch anything on the harddisk drive until all
settings are made and I answer the last "are you sure?" question.
**Question:**
Can I install elementary on a seperate partition at all or do I have to expect
it messes up my existing install?
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
