** Description changed: Binary package hint: debian-installer If I try to install Hardy-Server-Alpha-2 to a 500 MB disk with "Guided - use entire disk and setup LVM" a get an error message "... disk ... to small ..." (see attachment). But it is possible to go on with a manual installation with ca. 50 MB "/boot", ca 128 MB "swap" and ca. 300 MB for a LVM logical volume "/". The installation proceeds and stops while installing software with the - error message "Installation step failed" (see attachment). - "/var/log/syslog" has a lot of "no space left on device" messages and - "df" reports 0 available blocks on "/". + error message "Installation step failed" (see attachment + https:comments/1). "/var/log/syslog" has a lot of "no space left on + device" messages and "df" reports 0 available blocks on "/". A 300 MB root partition may be ok, e.g. with a separate "/usr" and/or "/var" partition. Yes, I know, I decided to make a manual installation. But I would prefer to get a warning and the possibility to proceed "if you know what you are doing". The "Installation step failed" message was not very helpful. There was no advice to look into "/var/log/syslog" or anything else. Yes, I got an error message but no hint about the cause of the error and no advice for a correction. Didn't the package management system know how much space it needs for the installation? ** Description changed: Binary package hint: debian-installer If I try to install Hardy-Server-Alpha-2 to a 500 MB disk with "Guided - use entire disk and setup LVM" a get an error message "... disk ... to - small ..."
