We recently had installation reports where the size of either the root partition (in the "separated / and /home" recipe) or the /usr partition (in the "multi" recipe) are too small to fit a full desktop installation. Attached is a rather conservative patch to those recipes that raises the max size of / to 10Gb (in "home" recipe) ad that of /usr to 9Gb (in the "multi" recipe). I didn't make any precise calculation: I just roughly guessed this would be OK.....so feel free to alter these sizes to whatever is appropriate. But, what's important: we MUST change these defaults. PS: there is at least one reported bug, which I assigned to partman-auto, that mentioned these "too small partition" problems. PS2: the same should probably done to partman-auto-lvm PS3: sorry for sending this without any full check, without the rightbug numbers...and for not committing the needed change, but working offline with a 5 minutes connection window each day at the local McDonalds restaurant doesn't help working very efficiently..:-) --
