ubiquity install of DVD ISO fails with "No space left on device" on Eee701 3.5G

Ran a fresh DVD homebrew from broth (bzr rev 306) and live boot was fine. Ubiquity install now fills up the 3.5G drive (I double-checked that ubiquity was using the whole disk rather than doing a side-by-side) and then crashes out with "No space left on device" message.

The DVD ISO should be able to install to a 3.5G drive, right? It always has managed to fit in the past.

du -hcs /target/usr/*

299M bin
52K games
896K i486-linux-gnu
21M include
1.4G lib
192K local
7.5M sbin
1.3G share
80M src
264K var
3.1G total

I saw ubiquity doing "Downloading language packs..." which I haven't noticed before.

OK, after another couple of test installs with wi-fi deactivated, I see it's not connected with downloading language packs - simply the DVD ISO has grown recently so it's too big for my puny little HD :(

(CD ISO installs fine on it)

sorry but I think this is not something we can fix unless you open a bug for donating a bigger hard drive to you ;)
