== Mirabelle Space Requirements -- Need 8GB USB drive? ==
Tried to install as per instructions on 4GB USB drive but zyx-liveinstaller failed with the following (abbreviated) message:
"*Installer backend error*... target root size 3341520Kb is less than live root size 4194304Kb"
The important number is the 4GB! Can't get a 4GB root on a 4GB target disk!
Successfully installed on 8GB disk and Gparted confirmed that the root has 4.39GB used. I did install a couple of extra activities, but it still seems one needs at least a 4GB partition for the root.
Incidentally, Gparted reports only 28.23 MB used in /root after successful install.
Should numbers on page be changed accordingly?
