Bug Description

I attempted to install Lubuntu 16.0 onto my eeePC 701, (4Gb RAM, 4Gb SSD)
at the point where I was expecting to be able to select my instalation options I suddenly got a message that (a) I had insuficient space for my selection, even though I had not actually made a selection, and (b) a report was going to be sent to the developers.

I selected CANCEL and quit the install, tried to reboot and that's when my O/S (Lubuntu 14) had been trashed.

Not a big deal as I do have the *.ISO for 14 and can easily reinstall it, its just a concerne that the install for 16 ate my existing O/S

There is no log files to send

Regards

Al
