Strikes me I am being asked to provide a comic book version of this event, as the textbook history book version requires too much reading.
First, the partitioner in 9.10 and 10.04, as well as earlier versions of Ubuntu, behave somewhat better, so this is almost ancient history. I still use 9.04 myself, because it works better for me, but then I've dealt with partitioner many times, so it is sort of old hat at this point. Second, the order and sequence of partitions created is not significant, nor their size. The problem is how the partitioner tries to give you choice as to what method to follow when installing the OS. I've always just gone to the manual method with the partitioner, because as I said, there is no real distinction of what is going to happen, or what happens if you already have more than one OS on the hard drive. Now for anyone that has the same problems, you can do two things: (1) get gparted.iso and download and burn it to CD. Boot up with it, and set up your hard drive the way you want. (2) boot the LiveCD, get to where the partitoner comes up, and always pick the third choice, which is manual mode. From there, if you understand what partitioning is all about sufficiently, you can get it done the way you planned. And if you cannot follow this, then I guess you might be better off with one of the other two choices presented.
