Bug Description
- While installing 10.04
- resize ntfs Partition (sda1 in my case)
- choose to little space for installing - eg 500 Meg (was a typo in my case)
- install grub ( markes sda 2 bootable)
- Installer fails to copy packages (no Way back)
- System unbootable.
Workaround:
switch console - use Fdisk to mark SDA1 bottable.

fix::
...The easiest Way to fix this one is providing a way back to the installer if an error occours while copying the packages.
...another one is to require a minimum size while creating the / partition.
Hope that Helps an Happy Hacking!
