I think it's fixed in Lucid, at least in teh graphical install. I
think that language in the text-only installer may be less confusing

This problem still exists in the 9.10 installer. Every time I use the
installer I need to look up exactly what is meant by New Partition
Size.
New size for existing partition as mentioned above would be an
improvement. Better yet would be some indication of exactly which
partition was being
It's very confusing indeed, this would have to be high priority for the
next Ubuntu release as it should be totally clear, more when it comes up
on the partitioning process which is the more frightening part for
newbie users.

It is confusing. I've tried it at least twice, once in front of a class
of about 15 teacher educators and no one could figure out what size the
Edubuntu partition would be. On the laptop that I'm using now Ubuntu
7.04beta is on a 13 MB partition while the yet-to-be-booted XP partition
has 60MB.
It has been a while since I last installed Ubuntu while keeping a
Windows partition. Yet I can confirm the partition questions were
strangely worded. For example, the installer asked for New partition
size and maybe because I'm not a native English speaker but I had no
idea if it meant Size of the
