I've looked into it right now. Basically, I see two possibilities to improve
the behavior here:
1. Detecting "out of space" - can be done either via grepping the output
(rather fragile) or post-installation checking whether the disk is 100% full
2. Improving the partitioning proposal to inform that the system may not fit.
It can only be warning and will never be 100% successful - because the live
image does not contain info about the distribution of used data in the
directories (how much is e.g. /usr); it can be calculated, but that is too
slow. Therefore, the check can only look like "if root is less than image size
+ 20% buffer, issue a warning". Default partitioning does not use separate
partitions, therefore it should work.
I know that no of the solutions is perfect, but I cannot think of better one.
