Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-live
This is a useability issue.
I was installing 6.10. It seems that this version uses a graphical
installer from the livecd, instead of the text installer used
previously.
Due to bug 84557, I was forced to install from 800x600.
The dialogs in the installer are all slightly too large for this screen
size. In particular, you can see all of the information but the buttons
are not reachable. You need to tab to the bottom and hope that you got
the right one.
This could be fixed by:
1. Making the dialogs 30 pixels or so less tall. I don't think that this
would affect the usability of the installer.
2. Allowing the windows to be moved off the top of the display (so overlapping
with the menubar) in an 800x600 configuration.
3. Changing the default style in 800x600 to use a smaller font and smaller
title bars.
