[Bug 1053770] Re: ubuntu-server install takes up too much space

[Paul Larson]

I see, so I tried minimal virtual on amd64 and got:
759M / 691M

Not trying to be overly picky about this, but I had a test I was trying
to make to watch and make sure that we don't start growing way bigger
than we say our minimum requirements are without getting noticed.  So
I'm trying to sort out where I should really set that mark.

Bug description:
  Installing a recent iso of ubuntu-server, I observed that a base
  install (no tasks selected) took up approximately 1G on amd64, and
  800M on i386.

  According to the recommendations on precise at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/preparing-to-install.html
  1G should be plenty for all tasks selected, and 500M for no tasks selected.

  Either these minimums should be reevaluated and rasised, or we need to
  concerve some space somewhere.
