(Get the code!)
Julian,
we all know that size requirements are shown. This is not about showing. It is about using that information (either manually by the user or automatically by the program) to prevent to fill up the disk and made the system unstable and/or unusable.
This is VERY relevant for USB-key casper installations, since at present they are completely useless just because of this problem. Have you ever tried them, and I mean not just installation, but actual use for a few weeks (until several updates accumulate)?
Feel free to close this bug if you don't think it will be fixed, but please try to understand it before doing so.
