Binary package hint: ubiquity
With a resolution of 800x600, running ubiquity and selecting manual partitioning results in the manual partitioning step (called "Allocate drive space") expanding the Ubiquity window below the bottom of the screen, so that it is very difficult to approve the specified partition scheme and continue with the installation. This is illustrated by the attached full-screen screenshot.
This is with the daily live install CD (i.e. desktop CD) for Natty, downloaded on 3/4/2011. The md5sum for the ISO image (natty-desktop-i386.iso) is 5f1c4376fb3c42742627d9f77e83547e. The ubiquity package version is 2.5.22.
While low resolutions like 800x600 are less common than they used to be (except on netbooks), there are three other usage cases for such a low resolution (and most users in these situations would likely be installing Ubuntu Desktop Edition rather than the netbook version):
(1) This is a common way to increase the size of text and other GUI elements, employed by people who have trouble seeing them at higher resolutions.
(2) When upgrading or replacing their computers, many people keep their old monitors. Most monitors support resolutions higher than 800x600, but they do not necessarily support higher resolutions with desirable color depth and refresh rate.
(3) When using a virtual machine, the "screen" of the virtual machine tends to be small when it is displayed inside a window on the host desktop. This is my situation.
