Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity-
I continue to find it frustrating that the graphical installer is so difficult to use on an 800x600 resolution screen. Because the buttons are always at the bottom of the screen you have to guess at how many tabs to hit before hitting enter or drag the panels to the sides of the screen an hope you can see the tops of the buttons. I just installed hardy-alpha1 on a VMWare VM and the default resolution is 800x600. Only after dragging the panels to the sides and dragging the window up was I able to partly see the buttons I needed to click in order to start the install. I realize that most people have screen resolutions in excess of 1024x768, but there are times when that is not possible and placing the buttons at the very bottom or not allowing the window to be resized really makes it frustrating.
