Public bug reported:
When partitoning manually during install you are shown the table of existing
partitons.
It seems to me that:
1. If you want to make a modification, then you have to perform the action(say
delete a partiton) at which point your action is displayed in the box of
Pending Actions. Yopu then HAVE to click Forward to perform the action, and
then have to click 'Back' to get back to the partiton table.
>From a user perspective this felt pretty poor.
2. Having finished making any modifications you then click Forward and are
asked to specify which partitions you want to mount as /, /boot/swap etc.
Since you may have 7 (in my case) or more partitons you have to either have
remembered the device number (hda2 etc) for each, or you have to scroll through
the choices and say 'that is 13GB therefore it must be /. That is 500MB
therefore it must be swap' etc.
>From a user perspective it would be much easier if this mapping could be
carried out on the same screen as the partition table.
