I found you can choose "Other" partitioning option and do what you like with the drive layout and mount points.
I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04b2 a couple of weeks ago and retained all my data volumes (LVM); just blew away / . I found it easiest to ignore all volumes except / during install, then add the mount points manually later. I did screw something up because EFI boot doesn't work now but I haven't bothered to find out what I got wrong. A nice feature is you can dd the .iso to a USB flash drive and it is bootable installer. No more futzing around with unetbootin et al. -- Rich On Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 2:18 PM, Carl Turney <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Are Ubuntu still making Alternate Install CDs for their new releases? > Want to do some stuff to the hard disk before the actual install of Trusty. > > Otherwise: Should I just do the trial run and do things via a terminal > window there, or boot up off an old Alternate Install CD? > > Ta, > > Carl > Bayswater > _______________________________________________ > luv-main mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main >
