[Bug 1874066] Re: Cannot install on non-RST drive if RST is enabled and there is a second RST-enabled drive

[Mark Muth]

This is still a problem on Ubuntu 22.10. Wanted to install on an
external SSD, because I don't want to disable RST on that Windows
Machine, but got stuck in the installer. There is no way to skip
disabling RST even if other storage devices are available.

Also left a comment in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-
installation-on-computers-with-intel-r-rst-enabled/15347/104

Would be great if anyone could look into it. I think skipping a step in
the installer shouldn't be too hard to implement. I could try, if you
want me to.
