[Bug 947107] Re: No partition labels in the resize widgets

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Description changed:

- I clicked through the 12.04 LTS Beta 1 installation wizard and selected
- "Install 12.04 LTS alongside 11.10". I am presented with a simple slider
- to manage the partitions for the existing and new version of Ubuntu.
- However, the only labels present on the partitions are the sizes (approx
- 240GB and 60GB). Which one is for 12.04 and which for 11.10?
- 
- I would suggest adding labels either for the partition names
- ("/dev/sda1", "/dev/sda2") or (preferably) for the OS that is/is going
- to be installed on the partition ("Ubuntu 11.10", "Ubuntu 12.04"). The
- latter would obviously be preferred because I wouldn't neccesarily know
- what the former means. (btw, I'm assuming my existing installation would
- stay on the existing partition, /dev/sda1?)

  At the moment I can't continue past this step knowing what is going to
  happen, which means I don't really want to! :)
  
- I will add a screenshot asap.
