Bug Description
Binary package hint: partman-
(I'm not sure if this is partman or the installer) when doing a new Hardy 8.04 install from the Desktop CD, on the screen with the default "automatic" dual-boot partitioner, it's not immediately obvious you can drag the partition size around to change the split point. Some text saying you can drag the partition sizes OR a more obvious "handle" between them would be helpful to someone encountering this for the first time.

This bit me too. Actually, it was so unobvious I ended up booting into gparted to adjust the sizes prior to an installation.
