Pathetic.
Dual boot system here with 4 HDs. Two EIDE with NTFS spanning whole drives and two SATA with NTFS and ext3 partition mix on them. Not very standard? So what? Who cares? It is a legitimate situation. One would think that "alternate" disk would handle it bit better.
Guess what? Both desktop and alternate disk image installers are attempting to resize NTFS partition spanning disk that BIOS considers "first". Hello ! Anybody home? I understand it is suppose to be *x for dummies but there is limits to dumbing things down. Even windows installer does not try to shrink ext3 partition if there is one in a way of it. Ouch! That must hurt, windows installer smarter !
RHEL, MD, OpenSUSE to name the few throw detected disks/partitions for choice of use for their installations.
Is Ubuntu Linspiring or inspiring to be the big boys distro? Latter will not happen with dumbing things down, that is for sure.
