Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When using the automatic partitioning into separate partitions, the
installer created a 386M /tmp partition. This is not enough, for example,
when watching a full-length YouTube movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w , filling the partition and
stopping playback (probably confusing a less experienced user).
I understand you can reload the YouTube movie and skip to the current
position, resuming playback and fixing the problem temporarily (I needed to
do this 4x to finish the movie) but in the case of a long vimeo.com movie,
for example, it can't be done (as I've suffered in the past).
I'm not sure I should report the bug here or in the appropriate browser or
Flash plugin package, but as the installer left me with a 295G /home
partition (which is mostly empty while /tmp is occasionally 100% full), I
honestly think there's room for improvement in the partitioner (at least
recommending novice users not to use multiple partitions, for example).
My sincere thanks for the great work!

Hi,
closing as your suggestion is already in place in the installer.
From the guided partitioning menu, the first option it's named:
"All files in one partition (recommended for new users)".
