In this case I was attempting to install Lubuntu alongside SuSE Linux 12 which was already installed. As I read it, I'm supposed to be able to install Lubuntu alonside another operating system, splitting hard drive space between them with a slider.
The Lubuntu installer provides no such option. It simply offers a choice to either erase everything on the disk, or manually change existing partions.
Wondering if I'm missing something. It seems to me that the test case is written for an Ubuntu installation and parts of it do not apply to Lubuntu.
For the time being, I'm reluctant to either pass or fail the test case. Surely this issue has been raised before.
Any comments would be appreciated.
