Public bug reported:
Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic
I have a second hard drive whose contents I have been looking through lately.
This is designated sda (plus the full description, of course).
My main hard drive is designated sdb.
On the page where one selects the type of install, one is given the
choice of which device the install should be placed.
This defaulted to sda. I changed it to sdb, selected Manual Install,
and clicked on Next.
The Manual Install page showed two places where one has a choice of devices:
1 for the location where the install should go (again)
2 for where the boot loader should go.
Both of these showed sda, despite the fact that I had selected sdb on the
previous
page.
I went Back to check to make sure I had actually selected sdb, and I had
done so.
If one selects a particular device on the Type Of Install page, that
device should be the one the two select-boxes on the Manual Install page
should default to.
Naturally, one might change one's mind and wish to install on a different
device,
and one might possibly decide to have the boot loader on a different device
from that on which the install is placed, but those cases would be far less
likely than to assume that both should be on the device chosen on the Type Of
Install page.
