Right after specifying mount points:
An error occurred Not enough space available (4GB available while 0B are needed)
In fact, the target / partition (former home of Mandriva 2011.0, where freespace was 37% before reformatting) size is 4.4MiB (installer reports it as 4.2GB; total filesystem blocks 71827456).
Shortly before that it told me that 1024 RAM is required, while 994 (not counting existing swap space) is available, but it let me proceed anyway. 994 is available because motherboard maximum is 1024, and the i845G onboard video requires some of it.
Trying to fix on tty1 installer's misinterpreted BIOS clock set to local time at first fails to be noticed by the installer after getting a valid result, then the GUI stops responding to mouse clicks.
Canceling at the partitioner screen after the not enough disk space screen does not give an opportunity to return to tty1, mount a location to copy logs, and copy them prior to it proceeding to reboot.
Booting to a desktop instead of the installer produces a dark and unusable molasses-like/non-responsive effect, likely because compositing hasn't been disabled for the benefit of the 2.4GHz single core CPU and onboard video.
Trying to login on tty3 fails due to lack of response timeout every time.

I thought we had fixed this one;
I'll put this back in the 2014 release notes and investigate further.
If forgot to write I always partition in advance, and install using readonly=1. Maybe that's the difference here? I would have noticed and reported a lot sooner, but I don't install alpha- or beta-ware from downloaded isos, only from HTTP installs. and thought that this was to be the GA iso. I could never find instructions how to do this, or any repo with anything except isos, since the name and web site changes, and never got a response when I queried that subject here.
*Partitioning with Small Disks * When using the custom partitioning tool to divide up the hard disk/s be aware that there is a minimum size requirement a root partition that contains the /usr directory of at least 5.0Gb. If the partition is made smaller that this the partition manager will not function correctly. Due to the adoption of *systemd* the use of a separate */usr* partition is no longer possible[1]. It is still permissible to have a separate */usr/local* partition. *Workaround:* If you receive an error message stating that the partition is smaller than the minimum requirement then do not try to resize it as this will fail; instead, use the auto-allocate function which will automatically create a partitioning scheme for you, which you may then delete or change to suit your own requirements. This will clear the error.
