Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I was installing Intrepid Kubuntu Alpha 4 from the LiveCD onto a
multiboot system. I chose MANUAL PARTITIONING. After selecting EDIT
PARTITION for my /boot partition, I accidentally chose the wrong file
system from the drop down box. It was only later that I noticed that
FORMAT PARTITION had a grayed-out X in the box. Fortunately I saw it and
figured out the error and was able to cancel out then start again.
I think manual partitioning would be much safer if it warned the user
when the installer decides to format a partition when the user had not
actively requested it. (I had very intentionally left the format
partition box unchecked because I didn't want my boot partition wiped
out!)
