Bug Description
Tried to install Ubuntu 6.06.1 from CD on a computer with a 2.1 GB disk. All went fine until 96% or so, when the installation crashed. No free space on drive.
Why doesn't the installer check if there is room on the disk before it begins installation? Nowhere in the installation can I read how much space is required, neither does the installer tell me that my disk is to small for Ubuntu. 20-25 minutes later.. it crashes. Very frustrating.
