[Bug 775124] Re: Ubiquity should have a command line option to override the free space check

[wojox]

ubuntu-12.04-beta2-desktop-i386.iso install no go and the block of code
I use to edit /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py is gone. :(  The
file is there, just not the same block of code.

Asus 900 4GB internal SSD. <-- / goes here and /home --> 4GB external.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

   I downloaded the 11.04 desktop i386 iso, put it on a usb drive so i
   could it install it on my netbook, but couldnt even get past the
   install screen, because it says i need 4.4GB to install ubuntu 11.04.
   The problem is that my hard drive is only 4GB large, a common size in
   netbooks.  I have run installers for ubuntu 10.10, 10.04, 9.10 and
   9.04 netbook editions on my netbook and never had a problem before.  I
   notice that 11.04 has netbook and desktop editions combined into a
   single ISO, so maybe that is why the error happened in 11.04 and not
   before.

   Also, I notice that the install footprint of 10.10 is around 2.1GB, so
   it shouldnt be a problem running 11.04 unless they truly added 2GB of
   junk to the OS.  The problem is I just can't get past the installer.
