** Description changed:
Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic
Perhaps it was intentional, but until now, I have never seen an installer
program in an installed distro... It only was in the .iso and presumably was
removed.
- (Of course, if the install merely removed the .desktop file from
/usr/share/applications, but left the actual package(s), I might well not have
known the difference...)

have known the difference...)

- Bug Description
-
- Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic
-
- In doing a manual install, I always format the '/' root partition, but
- leave all others alone.
-
- Thus for all others, I kept the partition edit option at "Keep".
-
- After changing the partition for '/' to "Format", I noticed that there was no
display column for "Format?" as there is for gparted, to see at a glance which
partitions were to be formatted.
- Therefore, I went back and edited the partition, and found that the option
was no longer "Format", but had reverted to "Keep".
- I tried several times to change it to "Format", and each time it reverted to
"Keep".
-
- When I decided to go ahead with the install anyway, I was presented with a
list of tasks to be effected, the first five (!) of which were "Format sdb_ as
"/" (or some such wording).
- I hope that it did not actually format the partition 5 times (but it did seem
to take a while!).
