Hello,
What this means is that your partition is too small for the installation
you have chosen. When you say it "installs" the remaining packages, it
really isn't adding these packages to what you have already installed.
I'm not sure what it does, but it may overwrite other data, or just
mimmick the install procedure. I'd make a bigger ext2 partition.
Hope I can help...
