Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
using karmic livecd.
the dialog text goes like this:
----
The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions:
/dev/sda
Do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing? If you leave them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on these disks, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there.
(buttons at the end are "No" and "Yes")
----
this text is confusing. by the time i got to the yes and no buttons i was surprised because i no longer have a question in my mind. the last thing i had in mind was an explanation about what i will not be able to do to certain partitions, why do i need yes or no for that?
i think this wording is better
