Description claire robinson 2013-04-15 19:14:19 CEST 
Tried something different installing this time. The small 2Gb partition I normally use for /home, I used for a separate /usr instead.

The installation failed with 'Unable to copy files to new root'.

I checked using the live desktop and it appears the partition is full, so it was not checked for free space before the installation began.

Probably b/c of bug #7992, size is underestimated
