| cr3 | when installing 6.06 from the live cd on a 2.2Gb hard drive and if you select "erase entire disk", it will create 128Mb swap and 2.1Gb root but the installer will crash later due to a full disk. | 02:41 |
|---|---|---|
| cr3 | Oddly, I have an installation of 6.06 which takes less than 2Gb | 02:42 |
| cr3 | Perhaps some extra space is being taken during the installation process and then removed afterwards. | 02:42 |
| cjwatson | I think that's known | 02:43 |
| cjwatson | I need to attack ubiquity/partman's disk space checks in general | 02:43 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: is my assessment right, though, that some extra space is being taken during the installation? | 02:45 |
| cjwatson | yes; ubiquity copies the whole live filesystem and then removes a few bits | 02:46 |
| cjwatson | I tried to get the high water mark but may not have got it quite right | 02:46 |
| cjwatson | for example, ubiquity itself is copied to the hard disk and then removed at the end | 02:47 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: that rings a bell, I remember overhearing you speak about this during AllHands. that's a trick to make it possible for the live cd and installer to coexist in the same limited space, right? | 02:48 |
| cjwatson | yes, basically | 02:49 |
| cjwatson | the live CD installer doesn't use .debs, but copies the live filesystem instead | 02:49 |
| jerom1 | cr3 : Hi, can you call me for support please ? | 02:52 |
| cr3 | jerom1: sure, I tried calling you several times during the last few days. give me a few minutes, I'm on the phone right now. | 02:58 |
| jerom1 | cr3 : ok no problem | 02:58 |
| cr3 | jerom1: ok, I'm dialing... | 03:15 |
| jerom1 | cr3: oki cool | 03:15 |
| cr3 | jerom1: the number I'm dialing is not answering, please see my private messages | 03:19 |
| jerom1 | cr3 : please see my response in private | 03:30 |

| cr3 | cjwatson: might there be a workaround to install 6.06 on a 2Gb drive using the live cd? the alternate works fine, but the live cd is so much more user friendly | 05:18 |

| cjwatson | cr3: afraid not, if the contents of the live filesystem don't fit | 08:28 |
