Environment used for testing:
UNR daily build 20090203 i386

Summary: The screen resolution presented during the installation of image 2009-02-03 is too large.

The lower half of the screen is missing. This makes installation hit or miss.

The installation was on a 9" netbook

Installed ok on a toshiba unit

I agree with the comments.

I have just installed it on an Acer Aspire One (8.9" screen, 1024x600 screen), although it was a difficult affair having to guess buttons by tabs (since I have installed a few ubuntu systems, I know the drill :) )

Kudos for making the tabs consistent enough to do this, but the ideal solution is to see them all on the same screen (or at least have a scroll option).

An install would be near impossible for someone not familiar with the install process.

Attempt to reproduce in latest image, I do not see this bug.

i confirm this behavior
i just installed ubuntu on my first generation eeepc (800x480)
what about just adding scrollbars?
as you can't move windows above the screen to reach the bottom buttons this would help alot

i think we will see more devices with this screen resolution in the future (MIDs)

I confirm this behaviour on an EeePC 701 with UNR daily build of 12th March. It is impossible to install the OS on such a device as the lower part of the wizard is not accessible.
