Installing OEM Intrepid Desktop Amd64 ISO: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20080930.4/intrepid-desktop-amd64.iso on the "Prepare Disc Space" screen for guided partitioning I see:

Before: /dev/sda1 (96%) /dev/sda5 (3%)
After: /dev/sda1 (96%) /dev/sda5 (7%) Ubuntu 8.10 (-4%)

I think a negative disc space is probably using a region of the disc that does not exist :-)

Attached is a png screen shot.
