Ioanna's digital perch

It seems that Jaunty doesn’t deal very well with automatically partitioning a disk that already has another linux installation on it. I tried installing it on a PC with Windows and Fedora under the assumption that it would wipe Fedora and install itself in its place. Instead what it did was to resize the Windows partition without asking me and create its partitions with a total of about 3GB available. By the time it finished installing there were only 87mb left free. I’m not exactly sure what it was trying to do by doing that! If it was trying to preserve the Fedora partitions by doing that, well it certainly failed because all the Fedora partitions were wiped and appeared as one big completely unused partition. Bizarre…
