Comment 19 for bug 421407

I'd just like to add a comment although I previously reported the bug. I'm on the Ubuntu Beginners Team and every day or two I am responding to new users who have fallen prey to the way the setup is configured.

I have two concerns. The first is that this is more often than not experienced by new users who are trying Linux and Ubuntu for the first time. To have to tell them they must reinstall or resize their Ubuntu/Windows partitions because the installer chose an inappropriate default is not a good introduction to a great system.

Secondly, the longer this problem takes to be resolved the more CDs are going to be out in circulation, causing problems for even more new users. This is especially true if the iso's for Jaunty are not updated; I am not as concerned for Karmic since I would expect more attention is being devoted to it and can't forsee it being released as is.
