Title:
  Awful sentence in "Install ... alongside" step

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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/153861270/new-dividors.png>
  <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).
