Fair enough, if someone has a small hard drive a large default store would be a disincentive. Why not have the node instead base it's default on a percentage of the free space on the disk with a minimum store of 256MB? The node could suggest a store size of 10% of the free space on the disk and then give the user the option to change it. This is a key setting for freenet performance and having it in the installer wouldn't be out of line. Providing a reasonable default should please those who don't like to answer too many quesitions when installing, they can just press next to continue the install.
