Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
In the kubuntu installer, in the manual partitioning page the mount
point selection dialog should automatically preselect the current file
system type of the partition.
I recently tried installing kubuntu 10.04 on a friends computer which
had a two partitions (one for / and one for home) which were both of
ext4 type. During the installation i was less cautious (I do kubuntu
installation very often that I did not pay too much attention) and did
not notice that the dialog had ext3 selected. I edited the mount point
as /home and went ahead with the rest of the installation. Later on
first boot i realized what i had done.
I believe the tool should caution stronger when a partition is to be
formatted. Such as by changing the background color to say, red when it
is to be formatted.
