Hi all,
I encountered this issue on using ubuntu 8.10 desktop i386 32-bit
desktop version as well. The behavior is still with the version in
ubiquity. What it should be showing is the hdd requirement in MB or GB
or MiB or GiB . One has to calculate the bytes to come to an
understanding. For simplification I'm taking GiB as a base
(1024*1024*1024) = 1073741824 and then divide whatever it says by this
number to get how many GiB needs . Ubiquity says roughly 2.4 GiB for /
if /boot and /home are on different partitions.

For somebody who's completely a newbie to GNU/Linux its just numbers
and he doesn't get any info. as to what's needed.
