Graphic installer doesn't like my graphics card, so I am using the text installer. I have two physical disks in my system.
When I get to the "partitioning type" page, I choose "remove all partitions on selected drives [etc]" and put an asterisk next to sda, no asterisk next to sdb. I want to use sdb as a separate partition, no LVM, I figure I can set it up after installing. Then I hit 'OK' and go to the warning page, say yes. Review and modify partitioning layout - yes.
So now I am looking at the partitioning page and I am surprised to see /dev/sdb and sdb1 down at the bottom, since that disk was *not* selected. I select sdb1 and try to delete, it says " unable to delete You cannot delete this partition: this parition is part of the LVM volume group 'volgroup00'". If I try to delete /dev/sdb1, it says I must choose a partiton. If i try to edit volgroup00, it says 'LVM volume groups can only be edited in the graphical installer."
So, am I stuck? It seems like my only option is to go ahead and add both disks, then try to remove one of the disks after completing the install. Is there some sort of workaround for this?
You should *manually* remove the partitions and *manually* partition /dev/sda the way you want, with the basic set of file systems (/boot, /, /home, etc.). The defaults are just not appropriate for what you are doing.
What if I actually had some data on that drive (fortunately I do not), would it get wiped by this?
