Jan asked me to start a discussion on this bug: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7544 12Gb minimum disk requirement is too restrictive
I think I've made my point well enough in the report, so I'll just repeat myself :) This is a problem in virtualized scenarios, where 12Gb is actually rather larger than usual (a typical virtual disk image would be 4Gb, but much lower values are sometimes used). It also seems a little heavyweight for USB, though perhaps that case isn't relevant. Furthermore, it doesn't seem useful behaviour to have this restriction in place. If I supply a disk, it should just use that (giving a clear warning) unless it's literally unworkable (the image will not fit into the provided space). I don't think it's appropriate for AI to second guess the intended purpose of the install. It may never be updated, and it just doesn't make sense to assume the user will need 14Gb of storage (which is a distinctly non-trivial amount). regards john
