When I tried to install ubuntu, the proces of doing so failed (hung) because
I had a BeOS partition (with BFS) After I reformatted this BFS partition on
my testmachine, ubuntu did install without any problem. Is this still the
case, and if so shouldn't anyone notify the ubuntu developers to fix this
problem in benefit of both OS'es?
