[Bug 771401] Re: Ubiquity disk requirements are excessive

[Stéphane Graber]

Just pushed a fix to ubiquity setting a maximum size of 8GB as long as the user still has 20% of free space.
For Edubuntu, this will appear as 8.6GB in ubiquity.

Title:
  Ubiquity disk requirements are excessive

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Through the Beta and RC releases, Edubuntu installed fine on my 8GB
  virtual disks.

  In the final isos, Ubiquity doesn't allow me to progress past the
  initial checks page since I don't have 14.1GB free space available

  We can specify that Edubuntu requires a 20GB disk in the release
  notes, but this is suboptimal since there's no reason why it couldn't
  work just as fine on a 10GB (or even smaller) disk.

  I suspect this will affect other releases too.
