Thanks for your report. I'm afraid that one of your partitions seems to be too small to complete an Ubuntu desktop installation successfully. Bug 48355 notes that the partitioner should have warned you about this. This is fixed in 6.06.1.

Hi,

The following link contains a minimum hardware spec, can you explain the need for 2.5GB for "/"?

Thanks for the update regarding 6.06.1!

Stuart.
