Comment 1 for bug 88208

This bug is present in the GUI installer and the Text based installer. I had similar experiences with trying to use a 1gb disk in a VMWare system. This is obviously less than the system requirements which I failed to check until today.

However, the check for sufficient free space is such a trivial step that it should be added ASAP to the installer. I imagine this bug will really hit people who try to use ubuntu in VMs and try and allocate conservative disk sizes.
