When fresh installing with OS recovery media, if users by chance select a target disk with small capacity that is not enough to install the system and create a recovery partition, the installation process will end up with an error that gives insufficient information for what went wrong.

In the case of a notebook with a 1TB HDD and a 16GB NVME, the NVME is not designed for installing OS, but users may select it from the target disk menu and have an error message pops up in the end:

"Installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1"

Which is hard to figure out the root cause is insufficient disk space.

Dell-recovery should prevent users from choosing it by hiding it or showing a warning message.
