[Bug 1053770] Re: ubuntu-server install takes up too much space

[Paul Larson]

I had set some installs running last night before going to sleep to get some more numbers, but you beat me to it.  Here's one more:
i386, all tasks selected from the install screen (except manual package selection of course): 1517M/1475M

Title:
  ubuntu-server install takes up too much space

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-meta” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing a recent iso of ubuntu-server, I observed that a base
  install (no tasks selected) took up approximately 1G on amd64, and
  800M on i386.

  According to the recommendations on precise at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/preparing-to-install.html
  1G should be plenty for all tasks selected, and 500M for no tasks selected.

  Either these minimums should be reevaluated and rasised, or we need to
  concerve some space somewhere.
