Hey Evan, Here we go:
1: boot Kubuntu 64bit
2: at Welcome screen click Install Kubuntu (did not go in via the live system)
3: Click Forward on the Prepare Page
4: Next page is Allocate Drive Space and the default is "Guided - use entire
partition"
-- this is a possible confusion point for people who do this a lot. I expected
the button to be "Forward" not Begin Install.
-- initially on this page, I tried clicking on manual partitioning, but I
accidentally clicked outside the area where the button would have been
selected. Then, I clicked the "Install" button on this page, and that
immediately started formatting the disk.
4.1: Click the Begin button, you get nothing confirming that you want to
actually destroy the existing partition, partitioning just begins.
When "Guided - use entire partition" is selected, there is no
confirmation dialog. Once you click that button (that I admittedly
mistook for a "Forward", not a "Begin Install" initially, the formatting
begins and there is no way back. So it's REALLY easy to mistakenly
erase an existing partition.
but I never saw any other page... only the Prepare Page that told me I
needed at least X amount of disk space and Y amount of RAM, and then the
page that lets you choose format options (Guided - Entire Partiton,
Erase and use Entire Disk or Manual Partitioning), then it begins.
