Suggest size for /boot partition in Ubuntu installer

[Patrick Carlson]

For the regular desktop installer for Ubuntu, it just puts the root partition "/" in one partition and there is no need to specify a /boot size. However, when doing a manual install of Ubuntu, the partition system lets the user specify a custom setup. In this case, it would be nice for it to suggest a size for the /boot partition.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is more of a feature request, Not a papercut.
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

The installer does not know that you intend to use it for /boot until after you have set the size, so it can't do this.
