How much space was needed?

As LVM now hangs when debian-edu-fsautoresizetab try to run in the background during the installation, it had to be disabled. :( So this isn't the case any more. > Any idea on this?

Also, as Wolfgang pointed out, it will only trigger with a very small disk. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
