Comment 2 for bug 657397

Oops, being blind as a bat results in mistakes, this:

"During installation the gui showed that it was going to resize sdb3 to 16.8GB and create a ne16.3GB sdb4."

Should have said:

"During installation the gui showed that it was going to resize sdb3 to 16.8GB and create a new 16.3GB sdb4."

I did describe two other scenarios where this popped up at bug 655950:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/655950/comments/1

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/655950/comments/2

In the second ignore the 4 NTFS stuff!

That proved to be wrong, the only real difference between the old and new ubiquity there is that the new ubiquity lacks the warning "No operating system is present" , but that's unrelated.

I have been able to reproduce this enough at this point to be certain that this is NOT serious for two reasons:

#1: If someone is really paying attention they can either choose the advanced option or quit the install.

#2: If they're not paying attention the install seems to do the right thing anyway so they'll never know.

So, I think it's largely "cosmetic". Something we should fix in Natty but definitely not worth delaying the release of Maverick.

Sorry to take so long :^(

I can't imagine mentioning this in the Release Notes doing much good but I'll leave that up to you.
