[Bug 775124] Re: 11.04 requires 4.4GB to install on netbook with 4GB SSD
Actually that idea was thanks to Nathan, see (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772164). I don't mean to take credit for it. Arturo, excellent idea. I just installed it in a VM, so I could see the peak disk space used based on the size of my .vdi file. On the disk, the base install of ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso only takes up 2.2GB, but the .vdi file is 2.6GB (2708508672 bytes), so that was its peak for a base install, no extra packages. I just think its awful for the UI to enforce an arbitrary (and artificially high) limit. The UI says for best results, have 4.4GB, a connection to the internet, and be plugged into power (see attached screenshot above), when actually you are completely hindered from proceeding. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775124 Title: 11.04 requires 4.4GB to install on netbook with 4GB SSD -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Catchup from bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772164 same behavior on an EeePc 4G; the forward button is greyed out. please file bug against the ubiquity package I've got a work around... Run the live CD, press alt+f2 and type: gksu gedit /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py Then on line 310, change min_disk_size = size * 2 to min_disk_size = size * 1.4 Then run then Ubuntu installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775124 Title: 11.04 requires 4.4GB to install on netbook with 4GB SSD -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 775124] Re: 11.04 requires 4.4GB to install on netbook with 4GB SSD
Thanks, marker. That did the trick! On my EeePC 4G a full Ubuntu install takes up 2.6 GB, leaving 1.4 GB, which is 35% of the total storage. I would have to try to install in a VM to see what the minimum required margin is, but whatever it is I'm sure it's a value you must add, not multiply! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775124 Title: 11.04 requires 4.4GB to install on netbook with 4GB SSD -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
