Package: tasksel
Version: n.a.
Severity: normal
hi
I have lately tested an install of woody with debian-installer
(beta 1, I think); full report is in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200401/msg02507.html
to do this test, I reformatted my 256MB swap partition as ext2;
when I reached "tasksel", I just choose "laptop", and I found out that
this needs much more than 256MB; then I ended up in a dead situation,
where the disk was completely full, and dpkg was unable to do anything
(since it could not even save /var/lib/dpkg/status). There ended my
experience at install, since I did not find a way out of that situation.
So, it would be important if tasksel had a way of dealing with lack of space
or maybe this is an apt bug, actually... what do you think?
