Make the installation partition settings easier to understand and use
Registered by

When selecting how to partition ubuntu the choices given are still unclear. Individuals not used to ubuntu, linux, or the concept of hard drive partitions often have no idea what is going on and often can result in the loss of a previously installed operating system and the data that goes with it. The partitioner when installing ubuntu can sometimes be a deterrent as it can be seemingly scary.
Ubuntu installer should have clearly labeled options with descriptions of what will happen to the user's hard drive. In cases where the user has selected to give ubuntu the entire hard drive, more attempts to remind the user of the loss of any previous data should be made.
