20.10 and which prevents me from installing either OS on my computers:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1915152
It seems that the Ubiquity installer *requires* an EFI System
Partition (ESP) even if being installed on a BIOS-based system with an
MBR hard disk.
None of my PC computers use UEFI. I do own 2 with UEFI but I run them
in legacy BIOS mode with MBR-partitioned disks.
So they do not have UEFI system partitions.
Multiple retries of reinstallation of 20.10 always fail because of this.
My bug report has attracted no attention so I wanted to ask if anyone
had tried this in 21.04 yet?
I do not want to repartition and reformat the HDDs of several
computers just to install a new release of Ubuntu. :-(
