[DEAD]Centaurus r4 installer bug not detecting existing data partition

bin · 2019-05-30 13:36

q4os-3.6-x64-tde.r4.iso as just released.

Running the installer I noticed it does not detect existing data on second drive partition.

Fortunately I installed on a spare drive so no loss of data, but it just formats the second partition with no warning.

Please see attached screenshot.

Ran again to check and screenshots from second install on this drive.

That looks like you have selected to "replace a partition", if you want to keep the existing installation you should select "install alongside".

No, the selection is correct, but the problem was that the larger partition, though formatted had no data - which was fortunate.

Attached is what I expected - but this only happens when there is pre-existing data in /home - which I thought there was, but actually there wasn't.

IDIOT ALERT!!!!

Just put it down to too many early mornings
