[Bug 829571] [NEW] Allocate drive space dialog text is slightly confusing

[Michael Nelson]

Public bug reported:

I'm just installing oneiric on a new netbook (Asus EeePC 1015PEM) which
has Windows 7 by default. When I get to the "Allocate drive space"
dialog, there are two things that may confuse:

1) The first option I see is 'Install Ubuntu inside Windows 7', but then the helpful description of this tells me that it's really a dual boot option ("You can choose which operating system you want each time the computer starts up."). Perhaps there's a reason for the word 'inside' that I'm not seeing, but it threw me... I'd expect to see "Install Ubuntu next to Windows 7" (inside sounds more like Wubi)
2) It looks like there's been a lot of effort to make the options friendly - and they are, but the title of the dialog remains "Allocate drive space". Wouldn't something like "Select an installation option" or something friendlier be better?
