Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Trying to install Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha 6.
In the partition step, the new color are very pretty but, unfortunatly,
not very intuitive and not useful at all. My collegua who was installing
was unable to interpret it.
Choosing manual partitioning because we already had partitions :
In order to assign a mount point to a partition (/, /home, ...), you
have to explicitely tell "Use this as ...EXT3".
It's a bug because :
- Most user don't want to know what EXT3 or anything else is.
- The system already know the answer, he's listing it on the fancy color bar !
I simply do not see the reason for this "use as..". The partition should
be used if there's a mount point. The format should be listed and
"ungreyed" only if the "format" box is checked.
