Bug Description
I'm trying to install hardy 8.04 beta 1 from CD.
Installer detects the previously existing ext3 partition and suggest that I should repartition that into two partitions. This is the first radio button. Installer suggested old partition to be divided so that first part would be 19% (5.3GB) and second part 81% (22GB). After selecting next I get an error message "Liian pieni" (Language=Finnish, "Too small" in english) with an OK button. If I click the OK button, I get this same error message over and over again. Also note that the error message is propably not fully displayed and it is not possible to resize the dialog to see the whole message. Restart seems to be the only way to continue.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug.
Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug?
So you can attach the files, you cat boot the Live-CD with the option "try without install", and then initiate the installation from a terminal with the command:
$ ubiquity
