Top 5 Reasons why I hate Ubuquity

I don`t have a Bad childhood , So generally i don`t hate things Easily. But the Day from when i am Rejoicing Dapper Release, I really Hate Ubuquity(the Live Desktop CD Installer), And here the Five top reasons i can Quote.


1. I am Poor and I have only 256 Mb RAM of memory , Like 100 others in my hostel, But then Why i hate ubuquity if it says a requirement of 256 MB RAM and i have it.
Ubuquity+Live CD Hogs complete Memory of the System,And you have to wait and wait for next screen to come on, On the Contrary Dapper Runs Fine or Rather i say with perfection. Who will Explain This ?

2. It`s Buggy, Till Date when Dapper has Released We have Done Nearly 100 Workstation Installation attempts on Different PC`S. And the First Time Success Rate is 20%. Now Compare to the Previous D-I Installer, It was fast, Stable and Quite easy (except dumbheads).

3. Not enough Documentation Available, So anyone want to work on Ubuquity had to Study all code from scratch, That`s not bad. But surely not a good option.

4. Soon after Ubuquity is Released The New motherboards with RAID support refused to detect the Hard disk And this is confirmed by Ubuntu , The remedy is to stop two running Processes, But Ubuquity was supposed to for Newbies isn`t it.

5.When you select Manual Partition on Normal Hard disks, Ubuquity Crashed .It`s a BUG and a serious one. Look at here Kubuntu Known Problems

If we really Intended to go for GUI installer . We should look anaconda as option.
