Bug Description

After using the install to disk icon from a 6.10 live-cd (on a new windows-xp computer) i decided to cancel the process. After a reboot the windows ntfs partition had changed into the size i selected during the install menu's. Windows ran the chkdskroutine, and found all ok. It appears to me the installation routine makes changes *before* the last summary screen and final OK-button click

This is an unfortunate consequence of using gparted. Once we finish and move to the new partitioner, this sort of thing should go away.

As we moved to the new partitioner a while back, I believe this is no longer an issue. The partitioner will not make changes until after the summary screen.
