Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I used the Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit LiveCD (on a USB flash drive instead of a
CD actually) and started the installation. When I arrived at the part
where I had to partition my hard disk drive, Ubiquity suggested to
resize my Windows Vista partition and use the freed space.
I already had arranged that half of the hard disk drive contains
unpartitioned free space before I started the LiveCD. As you can see
that huge amount of free space is completely ignored. The proposal to
resize sda1 and use the freed space would apparently only use the freed
space which would become available if sda1 were to be resized, not the
approximately 320 GB of free space which was already available.
In my situation, it would have obviously been the best suggestion to use
the third option, use the largest continuous free space.
