@ Colin Watson,
I think I have bug 905628 figured out, not sure we created it with this
fix, but the 20111213 image was OK.
Anyway, now if you have an existing swap partition you must manually
swapoff before beginning an automated install or you get a freeze as
described in that bug report.
@ Colin Watson,
This works well. I'm happy with it ;^)
This will make it easy to explain to noobs exactly what is going to
happen.

Ubiquity
I was just going to add a comment, basically ubiquity no longer tries to
use a 4GB flash drive as I'd once reported, but that's moot based on
your Release note:
If there is at least 5.2 GB of unpartitioned space available on a disk,
the installer will elect to create an Ubuntu partition in that

Why would we treat free-space with less regard than an actual disc?
I very seriously think the best fix to this is to present another
page just as we do with a resize or use entire.
The problem is basically that the backend code

I'm into my third test now and I have to say things look real good

If you have more than one hard drive and select Use entire disc you

Not surprisingly this behavior is still the same in the Precise 2029

on this. It's become such expected behavior that I wonder if this can
even still be considered a valid bug?

From comment #14, the behavior here is intentional and the only question
is whether there is something that should be improved in the
presentation. We're past UI / Feature Freeze now, and there's been no
forward progress this cycle, so wontfix'ing this for oneiric.

Thought I should add a comment here. I'm really torn about this, first
of all take into consideration that I'm now quite used to the behavior
and since it's expected my personal opinion becomes biased. Recent
improvements in the explanatory text tends to make me think we're OK in

I've been doing some testing related to bug 775124 and the two do
somewhat play into a common problem. Of course hardware limitations make
it impossible to test every given possibility but I try really hard.
Anyway I'd tried using an old blank 3.2GB ATA drive and it was a no go
and I'm thinking
A new slant to this which may require either renaming this bug or filing
a new one. This was from a Oneiric Alpha 3 iso-tesing image
(20110803-i386).
I began with a one drive setup with Win XP on sda1 and Lubuntu Oneiric
on sda3 with sda2 as SWAP, all primary partitions so I can easily test
free
Actually this cries for reopening bug 652852.
I'm now thinking the only way to handle this is to somehow restore the
option to use largest continuous free space.
Easy to say, but I'm sure it's a nightmare to implement :^(
Time to get out the dartboard again. I'm honestly not just trying to be
Just following up with Alpha 3 iso-testing images and I must say that
changing the forward button to continue was a true stroke of genius!
Also I finally got a router set up with a kvm switch so I can perform
more tests in a shorter period of time and I've now been able to give
this a closer look

Just to recap, if sufficient free space exists, and install alongside

I suppose one way to fix this would be to have the forward button
