Which help do you mean?

When you manually partition the disk, you will get a mune showing
every partition. Go to a partition, and press enter. You'll then get
another menu; here, click on the first menu item and you can specify
what to do with the partition: format, use as swap, use for LVM.

This has been fixed in the development version.

This has been fixed in the development version.

I'm fairly sure this has been fixed; I cannot see the missing $ in the
development version.

When you type "df", you get 1K blocks. So 100000 would be 100 MB.
Can you show what you saw?

Is this when it says installing the base system?

Some people have reported this, but I don't know why this would
happen.
