Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
This is actually on Intrepid. I just did an installation of Ubuntu 8.10 using the desktop/Live CD on a friend's system.
I made 4 partitions :-
a. /boot :- 150 MB
b. / :- 1 GB
c. /home :- 40 GB
d. swap :- 1024 MB (Double of 512 MB physical RAM)
Now before installing it gave me an error message
"Some of the partitions you created were too small. Please make the following partitions at least this large / 2464153"
Now it took me quite some time to figure out ubiquity meant 2.35 GB atleast
(1024*1024 = 1048576)
Then do 2464153/1048576 = 2.349
Now for anybody who doesn't know it makes it harder.
It should have given 2.34 GB space is needed .
