Some things I found irritating during the install process - Kubuntu 64 bit

[Jongi]

1. Every single partition HAS to have a mount point. There were partitions i didn't want to have mount points but the install process would not continue until I had reassigned the mount points i had removed (manual edit of partitions).

2. It didn't ask if I wanted it to install a bootloader and did that automatically. It's one of the things i hate very much about Windows No OS should feel it can assume that it knows how I want to setup my system.

My seem minor but it is things like that can make a difference.

Did you use the DesktopCD installer?

The Alternate Install CD should give you a bit more control over the installation

Alternate install CD
The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Kubuntu. It provides for the following situations:
setting up automated deployments;
upgrading from older installations without network access;
LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
installing GRUB to a location other than the Master Boot Record;
installs on systems with less than about 192MB of RAM.

The Alternate Install CD is available from the download section of www.kubuntu.org, for example
