Well, the yellow triangles signify either that the partition doesn't
have enough free space to do the install, or (I think) that it doesn't
have a compatible filesystem (presumably FAT16/FAT32). You may want to
blow away a partition, which I think should be allowed, albeit only
after clicking through a few klaxons and rotating lights.

For the common case---a USB drive with a single partition---it may make
more sense to display something simpler, as listing /dev/sdx + /dev/sdx1
must be pretty confusing for non-technical users.

(Note that the app doesn't list "local disk" devices that are IDE/SATA
and such; only those connected as USB mass-storage devices. And then,
there is no differentiation between a USB flash-memory
pendrive/thumbdrive and a USB magnetic-platter hard drive; you may want
to, and should be able to, install the live system to the latter.)
