Bug Description
This might be too minor to even be worth mentioning, but I just happened to notice that it wasn't quite correct.
When installing Ubuntu (using the 16.04.1 desktop amd64 ISO), I selected the 'something else' option for manual partitioning, then did only the following two things:
1. Marked existing partition /dev/sda7 for formatting as ext4 and mounting at /
2. Marked existing partition /dev/sda8 for use as swap
The confirmation dialog that appears next correctly notes those two things, but first states that "the partition table on /dev/sda will be modified." I haven't changed the partition table at all, though. After finishing the installation, it doesn't appear to have been messed with, so I'm guessing the message is just wrong. I wonder if it actually meant to say, "the master boot record of /dev/sda will be modified?"
Sorry, not sure how I managed to mark this as package linux. Hopefully I've correctly fixed it to fall under ubiquity
