Yes bug still occurs with Ubuntu 6.10 livecd. It is also a bug in Debian 3.1 installation disk.
The thing is I want to install on existing partitions. The installer should NOT touch my partition table at all. In the pass I have used Mandrake, SuSE and Knoppix but none of them change my partitions. I just fix my partitions using the "partition manger 2.40" dos application. The bug may well be in the partition tool both both Ubuntu & Debian uses. It is difficult to spot unless you display the sector/cylinders. Most people use GUI so am not even aware of the problem. Problem does not seem to cause trouble but its not nice for Ubuntu installer to even touch my partition table if I want to use existing partitions. Maybe Ubutu installer should add an option to use existing partition and if selected shoudl not touch it.
