Colin,

Thanks for your great work on Ubiquity.  There is one improvement that I
would like to see.

This past week I installed Ubuntu on a second hard drive in a PC.  It is
a 250 GB drive, and I wanted to give 30 GB to Ubuntu.  I got to the
"Resize Partion" and dragged the slider so that it said "New partition
size: 30 GB".  When the system came up, I realized that the "New
Partition" was not the Ubuntu partition, but the original partition!  (I
fixed this using the gparted livecd).

We need to make it more obvious which side of the slider is the new
Ubuntu partition, and which side is the existing partition.  This can be
done graphically:

_____________________________________________
|       Ubuntu      |                                    Original               
          |
|___30 GB___|________________220 GB___________|

Or change your text to be more obvious:

New size of original partition: 220 GB 
New size of Ubuntu partition:    30 GB

Thanks for your time!
