If I understand you correctly, Lubuntu 11.04 default install would (just!) fit on a 2GB (binary GB) disk. Correct. *And* the resulting install will likely be unusable due to the lack of free space. That's pretty lightweight; can you name any common desktop or laptop i386 PC architecture

Hi, list. *I suspect the number could be lowered to around 9 for a 1.8GB size check, but I have not tested that yet.* No it can not. Tests done on alpha3 show that the system requires at least 2000 MB (decimal M) just to install with almost no free space left. Too bad Lubuntu is no

Just some thoughts. Will it be better to run df periodially at a several second interval during installation to get a more accurate number? So we can know the disk usage every second during the installation process. The maximum of the values collected plus a safety margin is the minimal disk space
