Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I tried to install both Feisty and Gutsy in vmware and i started by allocating a 2GB disk to the machine which wasn't enough...

The installer doesn't inform the user if there ain't enough diskspace and will just create partitions and start the install. When the disk is filled up the installer just dies (if started in terminal, i'm able to see that it fails and it's cause of "No space left on device"). IMHO the installer should inform the user when partitioning that there ain't enough diskspace for the install...
