I found you can choose "Other" partitioning option and do what you like with the drive layout and mount points.

I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04b2 a couple of weeks ago and retained all my data volumes (LVM); just blew away / . I found it easiest to ignore all volumes except / during install, then add the mount points manually later.

I did screw something up because EFI boot doesn't work now but I haven't bothered to find out what I got wrong.

A nice feature is you can dd the .iso to a USB flash drive and it is bootable installer. No more futzing around with unetbootin et al.

Hi,

Are Ubuntu still making Alternate Install CDs for their new releases?
Want to do some stuff to the hard disk before the actual install of Trusty.

Otherwise: Should I just do the trial run and do things via a terminal
window there, or boot up off an old Alternate Install CD?

Ta,
