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

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).
