Bug Description
I got twice similar questions about partitioning -- once from a computer newbie, second time from someone
who know quite a lot in computing but who is not familiar with Linux installation. Here is the
discussion:

Me: "Have you read the help?"
--: "Yes but [reading the lines] doesn't help me."
Me: "Read what follows!"
--: "I clicked "Continuer" (in French; might be Next/Follow/
It seems that it is not obvious you can scroll a text-based interface for someone who has never used one.
* The first line of the help should explain you can scroll the help using the arrow
and/or
* the "Next/Follow/
clear.
