[Bug 967260] Re: Manual partitioning option doesn't allow reducing partition size

[Erick Brunzell]

Just reviewing my recent bug reports and making a list of what needs to
be followed up on.

There's something I wanted to clarify about the screenshot in comment
#1. I did not have Gparted open while running the installer, I opened it
afterwards just to better display my partition layout, but I notice that
the swap was "on", is this correct behavior?

As I said this appears to be limited to the Lubuntu installer, or more
accurately the Ubuntu 20120328 image worked OK.

If someone else encounters this with the Lubuntu Beta 2 image I'd
recommend quitting the installation, then using Gparted to complete the
partitioning, and then beginning the installation again.
