Package: installer Severity: normal Tags: d-i While attempting to install Debian Squeeze in a Virtualbox VM. Created an 8Gb Virtual disc Chose the graphical installer Chose seperate partions for /home /usr and /var Accepted default partion sizes and install options. Added graphical desktop and ssh server to purposes Allowed install to run to completion.
After first boot, got a message to say that /usr had no disc space left. I was able to fix the problem by running GParted on the virtual disc, but a more novice user would be stuck. I think that LibreOffice is using a lot of space, and making the default partion sizes invalid. Perhaps the installer should ask user preferences for what classes of app to install before defining the default partion sizes. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
