Freeing up some space - partitioner

[azz]

It is brilliant to make the default partitioner option to free up some
free space by shrinking an existing partition when one is detected.



However, I tried it out today using Colony 4 and found myself confused.
Perhaps I didn't pay close enough attention, but when I given a prompt
as to the desired partition size, I was not able to be completely sure
that the size I was entering was the size of the partition with the
other operating system, or the size of the new partiton.



Perhaps a more intuitive message, such as "To what size should we
reduce the original partition" would be better.



Also, I use the 



archive-copier/copy=false 



option when I need to install Ubuntu onto a really small hard drive,
since I think it saves about 300 megs or so of disk space.  I think
this would be a really useful cheatcode to document in the (already
full) help screens.
