Public bug reported:
I was installing Ubuntu 8.04 RC1. In the partitioner in the installer, I
chose manual setup (as opposed to guided setup). I created a scheme
that's shown on the screenshot attached. The error message in the
screenshot does not make sense. It read "Some of the partitions you
created were too small. Please make the following partitions at least
this large (in bytes). ....." (text ommited, the minimum size was
approx. 2 GB). It's strange since the root partition is approx. 12.5 GB
large. Swap is 550MB, but the RAM in the machine is 512MB (Actually this
was a VMware Fusion virtual machine, and the size memory on host OS is
2GB). However, ignoring the message (hitting "Continue") and installing
worked fine. I even tried to "Hibernate" the virtual machine (System >
Log out > Hibernate), and it worked fine, so the complain probably does
not make sense even for swap partition, which is 550 MB.
To sum up:
* the message is incorrect
* the message, if correct, should say which exact partition is small
* the message should include a human readable size as well (i.e. "2 GB" instead
of "1999316992" - it's hard to deduce quickly if it's in scale of 10^9 or 10^10
or 10^8 ...)
