Ron: It seems there is a graphical display of the partitions it finds, and you can drag the dividing line between two partitions.
I know I've done that when installing alongside Windows. But I haven't had occasion to do that for a long time. It seems there was an "Install alongside xxxxx" option. Strictly speaking for myself, as a user, I almost always use the manual partitioning option. I set up a common (fat32) partition, which contains music & pictures, which is mounted on each partition when it boots (Windows as well). Then I have two linux partitions - one for my new system, and one for my old system. When I become confident with my new system, I "transfer my flag" from the old linux partition to the new linux partition. When I install a newer system, I install it over the top of my old linux partition. The process repeats with each Linux release. - Aere On Sat, 2012-09-08 at 04:02 +0000, Ron Mitchell wrote: > The test case uri-001 for Lubuntu Amd64+Mac (build of Sept 7 2012) differs > from what I'm actually seeing on the screen as I attempt to install.
