[Bug 1241464] [NEW] Awful sentence in "Install ... alongside" step

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 13.10

1. Start the installer on a system that has another OS installed and at least one tiny partition.
2. Choose "Install Ubuntu 13.10 alongside" whatever, and choose "Continue".

What happens: The next screen says something like
    1 smaller partition is hidden, use the _advanced partitioning tool_ for more control

<https://launchpadlibrarian.net/153861844/lubuntu-new-dividors.png>

What's wrong with this:
* It's a run-on sentence.
* It says the partition is "hidden" as if it is actually concealed on disk. "Not shown" would be less confusing.
* It refers to an "advanced partitioning tool" as if that is something outside the installer, when it isn't.
* The sentence is missing a period.

This is an error in the design. <http://goo.gl/4xOlO5> Bug 654531
suggests that a better design might mention the total size of the hidden
partition(s).
