Bug Description
The problem exists for Ubuntu 6.6 and Ubuntu 6.10
I installed Ubuntu on a laptop with Windows XP already installed, and at
partitioning time chose to resize that partition.
The partition was about 33G. I wanted to give Windows 3G and Ubuntu 30G.
The partitioner prompted me for "New Partition Size". I understood "(New
Partition) Size" and said 90%/30G. Actually, I should have understood
"New (Partition Size)". So I ended up with 30G for Windows and 3G for
Ubuntu, and chose to reinstall both.
My suggestion: use an unambiguous formulation, such as "New size of the
partition" (or "Size of the new partition" if you need to ask for that).
