Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Using the 24 Feb 2007 feisty daily DVD live installer, I attempted an
installation onto a new 2GB Vmware disk. (This was using the Live DVD
desktop installer). The install went through the normal wizard and
started the installtion. At some stage (the last % I saw was 69%), the
installer completed, however with a tooltip prompt that the disk was
100% full. However no waring was given that the installation might have
failed. "df -h" confirms no space is left on "/".
The bug is :-
1. The installer performs an inadequate check on available disk space. The
standard LiveCD installation should know how much disk space is required to
complete successfully.
2. The installer does not give an adequate error message to indicate the
installation failed.
3. There are no obvious GUI disk tools anymore available via Control Panel to
view what disks/partitions are available, for a user to diagnose the situation,
