Bug Description
I used Ubuntu 16.10's VirtualBox to attempt to install Ubuntu 16.10 today. VirtualBox suggested an 8 GB virtual hard drive.
When I attempted to install, I got this unhelpful error message:
"You need at least 8.6 GB disk space to install Ubuntu.
This computer has only 8.6 GB."
Screenshot attached.
I'm filing this bug against VirtualBox to suggest that the default disk size for Ubuntu be increased.
Bug 1614812 is the ubiquity bug I filed about the unhelpful error message.

I asked to bump it, but unfortunately I don't know where in the code I can update this value :(
