1 - 10 GB seems not to be enough space for root partition if a user is installing aditional software.
I guess it depends on which additional software you install. AFAICS 10GB should be more than enough to install any single desktop environment: the base system takes ~1GB, KDE takes ~5.5GB, GNOME takes 3.6GB, the web server task takes only ~100MB. It is not clear whether you selected only KDE + web server or GNOME + KDE + web server, but even the latter take ~6.6GB and should fit in 10GB.
Did you check the disk usage after both installation failures ? The last times I saw a kind of "no disk space" error during installation, it was caused by error messages flooding system logs and filling /var/log.
3 - If the user chooses the option of guided installation with / and /home separated, the installation system will assign 10 GB of space to the root partition, without asking otherwise.
This is true with 55GB available disk space. It depends on available disk space. With Trixie, the size of the / partition for guided partitioning with separate /home is 7.5GB + ~5% of remaining available disk space (after subtracting minimum sizes of all partitions) up to 100GB. During the discussion 7.5GB was considered enough for any desktop environment. Maybe the 5% ratio is too low and should be increased. With previous versions, the size of the / partition would have been 20GB.
