I think partly there may be some confusion in the UI. The slider doesn't really make it clear that in involves a tradeoff of space allocation between the system boot files, and the installation. So maybe it could use something that turns red or shows a warning if you drag above some threshold (90% or 800M or whatever).

With a 1G usb stick, it might make sense to advise the user that they will not be able to install kernel drivers due to space limitations.
