I am in the middle of re-partitioning (separate home folder, room for installing a second distro) and installing Ubuntu-Gnome 15.04 amd64.
The release notes warn
- Installation freezing when selecting manual partitioning (1361951): This can be avoided by creating partitions with gparted before running the installer.
So I have (successfully) re-partitioned my drive using the live DVD gparted app. Now I can mount and see the filesystem, and was able to copy /home/usr1 and /home/user2 to remote areas of the drive.
What I need help with is the "something else" option of the installer. It appears that there is no way to select existing partitions for home, root, and swap.
I can, of course, select "upgrade 12.04" or let it do a standard install on the first partition ... but my first choice is to learn how to make it install on the existing partitions.
Any advice? Pointers to a tutorial?
