I've just been having a thrash at installing Debian.  It requires a partition that is designated as root to install.  Ubuntu is based on Debian so may be the same, but I have never seen this requirement in any other install (Suse, Mepis, PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu Dapper etc.)  Or on any other partitioner but Debian's.  There again, I have never looked for it.

All Linux distros require a root partition, the problem is that Ubuntu doesn't think I have any.

Mi admiras religiajn; ili estas fine ebliĝinta solvi la maljunegan demandon "kiel oni povas vivi sencerbe?".
It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault if you object to this.
