[Bug 157034] Re: home folder should stay as home folder in a fresh install

[Phillip Susi]

This was a question rather than a bug report, and the answer is: because
you are doing a manual install.

Title:
  home folder should stay as home folder in a fresh install

Status in Ubuntu Website Product:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Now when you install and after the Language, country and time zone
  screen there is the partition screen. Now I always manually partition
  when I install but When the screen comes up to list the partitions,
  they are not listed as / or home but are given sda1 or something
  similar. This would indicate that somewhere between the time you are
  running the OS, without the cd, and the install screen, the drive
  designations are changed. Why is this happening? If I have a 9 gig
  partition set as home it should be recognized as home in the new OS
  without me having to change it, unless I want to. I know you have to
  check the box if you want to format, but why do both / and home have
  to be reassigned as / and home in a manual install?
