Title:
  installation failure

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I am installing Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal on an Acer Aspire one with
  Windows XP home. I am trying dual boot to run Ubuntu beside Windows. I
  resized the partitions, using the partition editor that came with the
  install, so that Ubuntu has 100 GB and Windows has 53 GB. At the very
  end of my installation it failed.
