[Bug 1290393] Re: WARN: / is world writable!

[codeslinger]

okay, give me a few hours... and I will do another repro using vbox.
But I have already reprod this 3 times using a real hard disk partition.


basically....   I have a multiboot system with about a dozen partitions... but I'm sure you don't need anywhere near that many to repro this.

to install the test os

first using a different os,  open a shell and log in as root
do a cd to top level of the partition where you want to do the new install
do an  rm -R *    (don't make any mistakes!!!!)

reboot

do an install
select Something Else

manually select the partiton for the new os
Do NOT format...  no need...

then do rest as usual...

result: this bug.
