Public bug reported: On the Dapper install Live CD, when you come to the partitioning section, if you choose the default resizing option and click forward, the installer doesn't ask before resizing the partition. Instead, it immediately does so. This is a bug because every other partitioner that I'm aware of makes sure that the user is very well aware that it's about to alter the partition table. And since no documentation that I was able to find mentioned that it was able to safely resize NTFS partitions with data that would have to be moved, and since past partitioners haven't been able to do this safely, then there needs to be some sort of confirmation. I think that no disk operations of any kind should be done until the install actually begins.
