I am new to Ubuntu. I have tried to install Ubuntu half a dozen times.
Each time the installer crashes with a cryptic message which when
decoded by looking at each partition means it ran out of disk space on
some partition. It does not tell me how much it wants. I fiddle the
partition sizes with Boot-It NG and try again and the same thing happens
over and over. I had the impression Linux was tiny enough to fit on a
floppy or CD. I guess I was way off base.
PLEASE, before the install starts copying files, check the free space in
the partitions and complain saying how much more space is needed in each
partition so you can get it right the next go. i.e. complain about ALL
tight partitions at once. If this would upset the purists, just make it
a warning message. Also factor in a reasonable growth. The process of
tinkering and reinstalling in SOOO tedious.
I would also like the installer to optionally avoid the Grub boot
manager. It seems Ubuntu installs it whether you like it or not. I had
some very bad experiences with it earlier.
