Page 5/6 ``Prepare mount points''

it says ``no root filesystem''

But I have a perfectly good / as mount point for one of the partitions
in the list

Is there some other / I have to set up?

Installing from DVD on Inspiron 6400

This works

[Before entering the installer, enter examples, get a terminal, and
ed /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/validation.py (the suggestion below is gedit
but who knows how that works)

change /result.*/pass/

Then exit and enter the installer. Make sure you have a / because you've
disabled the (dysfunctional) check for it.]

from the link above :::



sudo gedit /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/validation.py

go to the end of the file, and edit the line that says

Code:

if not root:
result.add(MOUNTPOINT_NOROOT)

Change to:

Code:

if not root:
pass
