Debian's GUI installers don't show how big?
Debian's GUI installers don't show how big?
Is it me or does Debian's GUI installers do not show how much disk spaces? Like during custom installation, it doesn't tell me how the size for each package is going to downoload and install in drive. I noticed this in both v10.9 and v11.0 RC1 GUI net-installers.

Re: Debian's GUI installers don't show how big?
A full Debian initial install with DE like gnome or KDE will only take maybe 5GB. I make a root partition of at least 30GB so the size of packages is not something I ever considered important, and I presume the developers of the installer don't either.
