Using the ctrl-alt-F4 shell when error occured: # df -h /target/. Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 3.3G 3.3G 0 100% /target # (lot of commands because "du" is not available in Busybox...): 724 092 158 bytes for /target/var/cache/apt/archives/* 73 783 868 bytes for /target/var/cache/apt/archives/*mate* I used the default partition action with "home separated". As my disk has 12GB, the default partition action create a target '/' partition of only 3.3GB. Why 3.3GB? Why not more? What is the definition of default size for '/'? What is the method of calculation for this value? Is there technical constraints? Where is the file of debian-installer with the calculation? I restarted the same operations with a '/' partition of 10GB and no issue occured. So, it confirms your diagnostic. > I'm afraid there's little we can do in d-i for that. At first, I thought it affected everyone using MATE. But in fact, if only small disks are concerned then this is less urgent. In a first step, a solution could be to expand the label message in the "Software selection" input window. I suggest something like that (better english is required): "If you select all the packages, pay attention to have a size greater than xGB for the '/' partition. Set a value too small will cause an error in next step installation." Perhaps a label change is runnable in d-i. In a second step, it would be great to modify the default minimum size of '/' partition.
