Please note, the request is not to change the default size, only the minimum size, that is, to allow the user performing the install to select a size smaller than the default.
With the Expert Partitioner is perfectly possible to create an EFI partition of any size. The minimum size is not the minimum allowed by the installer in general, is the minimum that will be auto-suggested by the Guided Setup.
[....] Providing no option in the installer ensures that even advanced administrators are prevented from defining an system appropriate for their needs.
Advanced administrators can use the Expert Partitioner to create a custom partitioning. In fact, I would be surprised if an advanced administrator sticks to the result of the Guided Setup. And, as said, there is nothing in the Expert Partitioner preventing an EFI of any size.
Inevitably, some administrators will manually adjust the partition arrangement after installation, which includes shifting all data from the main partition, if the allowed options are not suitable. Such cases will generate considerable frustration, due to the installer not accepting the desired choice.
Again. The choice is accepted by the installer. It's simply not suggested by the Guided Setup. I would expect an administrator that is capable of rearrange everything and shift data between partitions after installation to also be able to use the Expert Partitioner during installation.
Providing an advanced option accompanied by a warning would appear to offer a sensible compromise.
Again, there is such an option and is called Expert Partitioner, which I think it's a quite valid name. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
