I have noticed that people seem to be confused about installing Ubuntu on their computer.
People are unsure, and worried about accidentally overwriting their existing data. They are Windows users who are used to drive letters and volume labels for their partitions. Such as C: (System), D: (Music), E (Movies):, etc. When they try to install Ubuntu, and are presented with hda, hdb, or sda and sdb, and sda1, sda5, sda6 they get a little bit confused. I propose we make it easier and more clear. A suggestion is to include drive letters and volume labels if possible. Example, Ubiquity says "The following partition are going to be formatted: partition #3 of /dev/hda as ext3". The user in many cases are unsure which that one is. So it should say "The following partition are going to be formatted: partition #3 of /dev/hda as ext3 (currently known as E: (Movies)" = Not so easy = * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=6.png * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=7.png -- prepare mountpoints partition names unfriendly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
