There is a boot option in Fedora 'inst.gpt' which forces the Fedora 26 Anaconda installer to recognize a drive as a GPT drive for the purposes of the Anaconda installer setting up the drive with a GPT partition table. https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html#inst-gpt Could this somehow be added to Ubiquity as this option is useful for anyone who wants to set up a drive on a BIOS-based system as a GPT drive without having to manually partition the drive after manually setting it as GPT? It makes the automated drive setup (e.g. encrypted LVM setup) very easy and painless.

You'll get on a lot better if you ask Ubuntu related questions on the Ubuntu channels. Cheers, Tom -- The average income of the modern teenager is about 2 a.m.

Ubuntu may have originated as a Debian derivative, there is now so much difference between them I can't see how the claim can still stand.

Because ubuntu has its own installer. Since an end user typically doesn't know what parts of a derivative are straight from upstream and which aren't, it makes sense to ask the questions on a support forum for the derivative distribution and let their process raise things up as appropriate.
