Comment 3 for bug 61054

I'm not sure I follow. If you don't know how large the partitions are, and they turn out to be too small, your installation will be botched, automatic or no. (Again, please see the description of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/60511 for an illustration.) All I'm asking for is a small addition to the "what happens now" status box just before the disk is actually partitioned, indicating a little more detail.

Or do I misunderstand you?
