Hi,

It's is very glad to have legacy installer back in new release for 20.04 , but unfortunately, I just found 18.04 and 16.04 broken as attached you can check.

In the mean time, there is another advice for your consideration. Is it possible to add expert mode for legacy installer so that we can have more control for installtion ? Now there is 3 option : install , rescue and auto install from url, priority=low should works for expert mode, you can see: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/ch05s03.html

Anyway ,thanks for your great work !

@antonym

Thanks for quick fixes!

But for low priority, looks like you just switched for preseed/autoinstall,which may be ignored for those who don't
use preseed. For the first "Install“ option , nothing changed from last version.

Maybe it will be better to add one more menu option "Expert install" , same as debian menu?
