Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I'm doing an OEM install of Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3 on a netbook and at various stages of the install I've had to use alt+drag to move the window up to access the Next/OK button which is below the bottom of the screen. Also when showing the slideshow, the progress bar is below the bottom of the screen so I couldn't see how far along the install was.

I second that. It is very annoying indeed. I am actually trying to install this on a regular PC with an on-board AMD Radeon HD 4200 with the same effect. The resolution is just way too low for any dialog. Can this be fixed or worked around with some flags? Btw., I am not trying to install Ubuntu, but Mythbuntu 11.04. So it's something that affects the installer across the board.
I know Ubuntu has the alternate installer disc which is text-based. But Mythbuntu doesn't seem to offer that option.
