I'm glad Kees was able to do what I did almost a year ago, and am happy it still works.
I'm sad we seem to have made no actual progress on this issue in that year!
At this late stage in Precise, I care more that *a* solution allowing installation of Lubuntu 12.04 from the normal official LiveCD installer image onto a 4GB SSD is created and tested, than about what solution we use.
So, if that means agreeing to Evan Dandrea's concept of "disks smaller than X but bigger than "size of distro + Y" can always be installed onto, then OK.
I propose:
"All disks smaller than 64GB but bigger than "size of distro" + 250MB should always be allowed to be installed onto"
Is that workable? Can Evan or others with official Ubuntu credentials get such a patch into Ubiquity in time for 12.04?
