[Bug 962935] [NEW] won't install past add language packs, or thereabouts

[Lulu]

Public bug reported:

I was reinstalling LUBUNTU  11.10, hoping to fix some bugs that were in
the first installed version.    I was having movie player crashes, that
would not close or leave window.  I tried to uninstall movie player with
the remove function, but that didn't take it out.  I could not get a DVD
to play with movie player, even after adding the requested library
decryption files.  VLC movie player would reecognize the DVD, then
crash.

After all this, I decided to just reinstall LUBUNTU  11.10, instead of
fiddling around, because the installation was so fresh and not
heartbreaking to lose.

When I reinstalled, I looked at the option to do something different,
and noticed that on my harddrive there was no marking for a Linux swap
drive.  There was an unidentified partition that was only about 500 MB,
and my ram is 850 MB.  I thought that LUBUNTU made a swap partition.

Also a notice appeared during this installation that all my documents
pictures and videos would be removed.

I was under the impression that LUBUNTU  11.10 was smart, and would
leave all my files in /home alone.

Should I make the three partitions:  /,  /home, and /linux swap for next
install?

Thanks.
