Things download okay, and I believe start to install, but shortly thereafter I get the red error screen of "an installation step failed". Upon switching VTs and poking around, I discovered in /var/log/syslog that dpkg was failing due to running out of disk space. 'df' confirms that the tmpfs on on /dev/.static/dev and /dev/mapper/debian--testing-root on /target were both full, with a size of 2.2G. I had granted 8GB of total disk space to the VM. 5.1G were being used for /dev/mapper/debian--testing-home on /target/home. In short, I think the "automatically partition the disk" option isn't giving itself enough space to work with in this admittedly unusual configuration. I ran through a second time only choosing the desktop and basic utilities tasks, and that went through without a hitch. While this is a fairly outside case that doesn't necessarily need to succeed, it would be nice to at least have some logic to fail more gracefully / informatively, whether that be saying that it failed due to insufficient disk space, or better yet, telling the user after they've selected tasks that they won't have enough room for those selections.

I read through all the ("partman" related) bugs mentioned here and am closing them now as - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they were (very) old. If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be more clear. cheers, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
