Description
Hello,
I don't understand why 20 Go is required for the "/" when we want to use the partition editor at the installation of Hardy Heron...
I propose to fix the limit at 10 Go.

Yes, obviously 20 gb isn't needed. It should recommend 20 gb, but shouldn't require 20 gb.

First question in order to understand this:
Is a "go" a gigabyte?

peter@Osirus:~$ df -h

How about:
5Gb minimum and 10GB recommended?
I never managed to fill 10GB in /. The only time that may happen is if you are using a lot of space in /var (mythtv?) or if /home is not on a separate partition (in which case / should be recommended as much space as possible).

GB =! Gb
1B = 8b
Go stand for Giga-octet => french translation of GigaByte
And to keep things clear you have to speak in GiB now => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte
1KB = 1000B
1Kib = 1024B
