Lorenzo, I had major difficulty, just like you. I had to get my daughter to help. I will attempt to describe what needs to be done. However do it at your own risk. I had my partitions set up ahead of time. I have my hard drive setup as follows. Partition one NTFS, 2 fat 32, 3 swap, 4 logical, 5 ext3 /home, and 6 ext3 / . Now in order to setup the partition on the ubuntu setup there must be places setup in each graphical column. In my case I had to have media for the first two partitions. Then for my third partition I chose swap. Finally set /home, and / to the final partitions. I had help with eye balls, I hope that this can provide some clues for you guys.

Subject: Re: live Ubuntu cd with Orca -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I had problems with the partitioner too, but I need to find where to report the bugs I found. First off, I wanted something other than the default big / partition formatted as ext3, but if I changed anything in the partitioner and clicked "forward" Orca stopped speaking and even restarting it didn't help. Then I tried using Speakup, mkfs... and a text-based partitioner to set things up ahead of the installer and then went to the installer and told it to manually edit partitions and clicked forward from there. It went to the mount point selection window, but no matter how many times I specified where I wanted the "/" root file system it gave me the error "no root file system" and wouldn't let me go any further. I decided to just stick with the defaults for now, but I have had problems with ext3 corrupting the entire file system on a kernel panic and didn't want to use it for that reason. If anyone has any suggestions either where to report this or how to get to the next step, please let me know. Thanks, Lorenzo - -- I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing.
