Well, it should be correctly calculated, but the way we build the iso
generate this type of problem. For now, it's manually set, maybe higher
than the real space (but lower, it will cause problem at installation).

About 2GiB with Flash and Lubuntu-restricted-extras.
I don’t believe Ubiquity actually calculates the drive space, I think the 
number is put there by the Devs.

I noticed this but thought nothing more of it at the time.  
I’m not really sure what these numbers mean to be honest.  If you take, say, 
1GiB of swap from 2,6 GiB you’re not going to get Ubuntu installed.  If you 
ignore the swap and just install Ubuntu, you’re not going to have much space to 
store any data never mind install  Flash and the Ubuntu extras so you can 
listen to music or whatever.
I think the numbers are just put in Ubiquity by the developers and not 
calculated by it.  So perhaps Julien was just being sensible and allowing space 
for a working system with swap and some storage space.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] How much available drive space for Lubuntu 10.10?

Hi,
my guess is that lubuntu is designed to run via

Lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC users running on low-spec hardware. Such
users may not know how to use command line tools, and in most cases they
just don't have enough resources for all the bells and whistles of the
"full-featured" mainstream distributions.

A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MiB of RAM is probably a bottom-line
configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with Lubuntu. It should
be possible to install and run Lubuntu with less memory, but the result will
likely not be suitable for practical use. If you have less than 160 MiB of
RAM, you will need to use the Minimal installation
instructions.
Please note that especially on lower powered machines (older CPU's) or low
RAM systems, that the installation may seem to 'hang' at about 95%, don't
worry, it has not; it can just take some time (possibly over an hour).

Maybe VB is having a problem with the fact lubuntu runs so lean.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but VB uses a heck of a lot
resources, Ubiquity is the install GUI, this link will give you instructions
for the non ubiquity install

Phill.

Hi All,
Firstly just like to show my appreciation.  Lubuntu is a fantastic OS that
runs beautifully on an Acer Aspire One.  A big thanks to Julien and the
Lubuntu community.

Does anybody know how much space is actually taken by a fresh install of
Lubuntu?  Also how does ubiquity calculate the required drive space?

[Lubuntu-desktop] How much available drive space for Lubuntu 10.10?

[Duy Hùng Trần]

Hi everybody,

I have tried Ubuntu 10.10 and Lubuntu 10.10 in Virtualbox environment. I'm
so suprised when Ubuntu says in ubiquity that we need at least 2.6 GB
available drive space to install Ubuntu and Lubuntu's ubiquity says that the
available drive space we should have is 3.2 GB. So why the availabe drive
space that Lubuntu requires is more than Ubuntu does?

Regards,
Hung
