The problem with this is that inexperienced users (the target audience for ubiquity) do not have an accurate idea in advance of how much space they should allocate to / and /home, and changing this after installation is very difficult. I am opposed to making this the default until the entire area of filesystem resizing is significantly better.
Users who want to try out multiple Linux distributions easily qualify as advanced users, and will almost certainly want to use manual partitioning at some point anyway. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: ubiquity => partman-auto Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- Option to create a separate /home partition when erasing entire disk during install. https://launchpad.net/bugs/67893 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
