I was just going to add a comment, basically ubiquity no longer tries to use a 4GB flash drive as I'd once reported, but that's moot based on your Release note:

"If there is at least 5.2 GB of unpartitioned space available on a disk, the installer will elect to create an Ubuntu partition in that space for the "Install Ubuntu alongside ..." option. While the normal "Install Ubuntu alongside ..." option has a second page for resizing a partition, this variant does not. Pressing "Install Now" will immediately start the installation."

I'm curious though, does that also mean that you're going to change the text of the Continue button to "Install now"? And, if so, will it say install now regardless of the option chosen?

I really think it works out OK either way. We now offer a lot of options with ubiquity depending on what exists at the beginning of the installation and this is the only scenario that I find somewhat confusing. Even an upgrade via live CD (DVD) from Oneiric to Precise worked quite well for me :^)

I have one more test to perform ASAP to see where we're at with bug 657397 which I think is quite insignificant if it does still exist. I certainly applaud your efforts and those of everyone at Canonical. Precise is looking great.

As usual I'll wait until Beta 1 before trying the "Wubi if 4 primaries exist" test unless asked to test earlier.

Thanks for all you do.
