    1a. The 'Install alongside' option was not available with a 16 GB USB 3 pendrive with Utopic with this amd64 iso file. (It was available and worked with the i386 iso file).

    1b. Reinstalling a minimal system (Trusty-nonpae-txt5.tar.xz via the One Button Installer) it *worked* with the 16 GB USB 3 pendrive with this amd64 iso file. Either the installer is sensitive to the space left, or it suggests overwriting 'itself' (another instance of the same version).

    2. With an SSD drive containing Windows Technical Preview (Windows 10) and Ubuntu Trusty, only Trusty was acknowledged, and it was suggested to 'install alongside Ubuntu 14.04.1'. However, at the next window the NTFS partition was suggested to be preserved as 'Files', and Lubuntu to be installed behind it (so overwriting Ubuntu Trusty). This is confusing. (I did not want to destroy the system, so I quit the installer.)

    Whoever needs more tests or details, please advice what to do and where to report it.
