Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
This can be found when booting the alternate CD and pressing F2.
From build/boot/
You must have at least 44 megabytes of RAM to use this Ubuntu installer.
You should have space on your hard disk to create a new disk partition
of at least 2 gigabytes to install a standard Ubuntu desktop system or
at least 400 megabytes for a minimal server installation.
Ubiquity recommends something like 5.2 gigabytes for a standard Ubuntu desktop system which is significantly more than the alternate CD recommends. I believe the prerequisites should be updated to reflect the same space requirements.
