Title:
  prerequisites for installing ubuntu are out of date

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “debian-installer” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  This can be found when booting the alternate CD and pressing F2.

  From build/boot/x86/f2.txt:

  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.
