I quite often for several times ended up with having no mount point
which will not lead to a successful install.

** Attachment added: "mistake of with no mount point."

Title:
  manual partitoing difficult with only keyboard

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Try to install the wiley dialy of Lubuntu amd 64 in a kvm vm using
  only a keyboard. You can get through the rest of the installer with
  only keyboard but partitioning is very difficult to get to get working
  with only the keyboard which can be a major for accessbility for
  peopel with poor motor skills. It is very difficult to try to  do with
  only the keyboard. I saved screenshots of the parts I have trouble
  with only keyboard saved on the host and will shortly attach them but
  called apport from within the vm.

  Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
  Release:	15.10

  
  I expected manual partitiong to be accessable to keyboard only users like entire disk or auto resize is. Instead I find the next install now buton to be visbile where you can use the keyboard will show having over mount point has the effect of clicking ok so it is not obvious how to change the mount point which is importnat if you want to do manaul partitioning. TO make the needed mount of a / partition is hard to make with having the the text over the moint and pressing enter leads to no mount point.
