It reports: >> Your current Qubes software selection requires 22.91GiB, including > 19.39GiB for software and 3.52 GiB for swap space. > > This looks positive.

Okay. Now I'm 1.55 GiB short, so the total install is 30.45 GiB - > an increase of 6.13 GiB from the Reclaim Disk Space Screen, and now I > can't install to the 32GB flash drive. > > Troubleshooting steps: > > I repeated the process over several boots of the installer with no change. > I tried disabling Encryption on the Installation Destination screen, but > the error remains. > I tried using the "I will configure partitioning" option to reach the > Manual Partitioning screen.

But when I save the settings and return to the > Installation Summary screen, the same error message appears, and I'm > 1.55 GiB short again. > > Is this PEBKAC or a genuine bug?
No feedback available on this issue? Am I the only one encountering it? I was hoping not to have to buy a 64GB flash drive just to work around it, as I have no need for that anything larger than 32GB generally. If I don't hear anything I'll assume it's a bug and file a report. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
