Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Latest jaunty images:
I have a 8GB with an already installed Ubuntu system.
I chose Guided partitioner and when asked for the partition size, I expected that the question was related to the installation I am about to do.
I chose "max" but that only gave me 2.0GB of space, that made the installation failed.
I think this is a usability issue. I would expect the new size to be for the new installation or at least a message saying clearly that the new size is for the already available system.
