Installing from a USB pendrive to another USB drive does not work. I
remember doing such installations many times before, but maybe I have
been using 'Something else'. I think this is another indication, that
the option 'Install alongside' is buggy and risky.
Passed or failed? I think 14.10 passes, but 'Install alongside' should
be removed, because it creates too much problems.

Title:
ubiquity install alongside points to wrong device letter
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
ISO-testing Lubuntu 32-bit desktop I found a bug that ris at best only
confusing, at worst installing to the wrong drive.
Background: Installing from a USB pendrive to another USB drive. The
live drive is /dev/sdb. The target drive has a system already
installed (Trusty, which is found and reported).
Error: Ubiquity reports that it will format partitions 5 and 6 on sdb
(the live drive) instead of the intended target drive sda (where it
found Trusty). See the attached screendump.

I will continue this testcase and report what will happen when I continue ...
