Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Through the Beta and RC releases, Edubuntu installed fine on my 8GB virtual disks.
In the final isos, Ubiquity doesn't allow me to progress past the initial checks page since I don't have 14.1GB free space available
We can specify that Edubuntu requires a 20GB disk in the release notes, but this is suboptimal since there's no reason why it couldn't work just as fine on a 10GB (or even smaller) disk.
I suspect this will affect other releases too.

In bug 745148 Evan says:
"I've increased the minimum size to double the size of the install, or roughly 5.2 GB. This is just above the minimum size set by the official documentation:"
So this may affect other releases but not as much as it does Edubuntu since its install size is larger than Ubuntu's.
