[BETA] v0.1.5-pre-release-20161216

[Bromf]

Scratched my head for a while....I don't have anything with U(E)FI ...

My bad, it's EFI. Keep mistyping it

I want to run Snakeoil on the Thinclient...It is conventional bios and runs x86 other linux ok apparently. I am looking forward to 0.1.5 32 bit as that should run on it

The first post now includes a link to a i686 (32 bits) ISO. Try that and let me know how it goes.

Meanwhile, until then I will try Volumio x86 on the thinclient.
Your linked 64bit 0.1.5 loks like it will run on standard bios if the acer laptop I tried it on is any indication so I will try that installed  on the laptop and report.

Thanks.

Thank you so much for the 32bit iso...... !!  Now I have to check the mail-box hourly to see if the hardware has arrived... 
Probably another day or two yet, so meantime...tomorrow.. I can install and test the 64bit iso...(in between weed-whacking and lawnmowing)

Install of the 64 bit iso went well and everything works as expected. Nothing out of the ordinary noted yet.

One behaviour of the installer is odd (and is the same in previous releases) in that when the partitioning window appears it automatically populates Snakeoil as the sole OS overwriting everything else on the hard disk. This is not the standard Ubiquity method which gives various options when other os' and partitions are found. ie Replace,alongside, or 'something else' that takes you to the manual partitioning window.
For those unused to the Ubuntu installer it may mean that where they expect the default to be 'alongside' they end up with 'replace'.
(yes, I know there are warnings... but I have seen someone post on the forums that their drive was overwritten    )
Perhaps in the installation notes in the handbook you could point out that for a dual boot install with one or more existing os' they have to hit the 'revert' button on the partitioning window to bring up the existing partitioning layout for editing.
