Comment 18 for bug 659106

@ Erick
"As long as confusing options exist someone is bound to mistakenly use those options at some time or other."
I question the use of the word 'mistaken' here.

I agree it is not logical to have, in the 'Install side by side' facility, an option button for install in complete hard drive', however, my practice in earlier installers was always to use a target unused space on the drive or earmark a certain partition. So the option which is marked 'Use Entire Partition' *would* in principle be logically included under 'Side by Side' (note).

Whether actual confusion is created in the user, and if so, why, is debatable. However, my own use of one of these options was most certainly not 'mistaken', it was very *deliberate* and if the function had actually worked and the indicated partition had been taken over completely, I would have been delighted.

Note: When 'Side by Side' is chosen the installer itself decides (not the user) which partition becomes the target for resize or take-over. This has both pros and cons.
