Hi Whytey,

I agree with your thoughts.  It's a pretty stressful part of the install
and clear language is very important.  How about "Resize existing
partition to make room for $distro." (ie. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu...)?

Also I reckon that "Guided:" in the existing options is somewhat
superfluous.

Changes like this start as bug reports.  File one against Ubiquity
(which is the graphical installer) here:

Cheers, Dave.
