Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
In jaunty latest images:
I have a 8GB disk with an already installed Ubuntu system.
I select Guided partitioner and resize option.
I select "max" as size, and this calculates that the new system requires 2.0GB of space, but that's only true for the packages during installation.
When it tries to install GRUB the free space is over and the installation fails.
Expected behaviour: "max" space should consider also the space taken by GRUB.
