Installer crash - Xubuntu installing to 1gb flash memory drive

[om3ga]

Was installing Xubuntu to a 1GB Usb flash drive (partitioned automatically with the installer). File copying slow (as expected), after about an hour it crashed on 50%. No attempt at reproducing effect has been made (yet).

Pc details: AMD64 3800+, 1Gb memory, Nvidia 6800GT, No connected HDs at time.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

    self.progress_loop()

    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s; see "
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1; see /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/syslog

Forgot to mention, this was from the Xubuntu Live CD.

I just noticed the problem...

syslog:
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

Unfortunately no mention of space required was made during install (that i saw), and it appeared not to check available space before installing. Should that be added?
