Bug Description

Binary package hint: base-installer

Hello,

when installing Ubuntu and using the manual formating process, it could be very
usefull to be able to show the partition content (before for example formating it)
It should be possible to read (write is not necessary) ext3 partitions, fat partitions
and ntfs too
I really think it's usefull because beginers can loose data because they don't understand
what partition name is... so showing data can help them !

Best regards
