[Bug 220961] Re: [MASTER] ubiquity crashes instead of notifying the user of not enough disk space

[douglas1]

Crashed while i had it installing to a Sandisk 8GB Flash drive. 8GB DDR3
RAM, was installing ubuntu 11.10. Earlier installed on the flashd rive
was Ubuntu 10.10. Manually created partitions because i did not want a
Swap being used on the flash drive, and it crashed mid way through the
installation ( after about a half hour. )
