This is a good suggestion - I think we might display the warning message on Summary screen before user actually starts installation process. In this case there is possibility to go back and change the disk size. Or we might display the warning dialog earlier - when user decides to leave Disk screen. I will check with Niall and Frank in order to work out the right solution from UI point of view.
