Yes - was 4 x RAM when I did mine.  Seriously OTT these days.
Especially when it becomes a significant fraction of the disk size.
An initial install could easily be into a 2Gb disk partition on a system
that has 512Mb of memory.

I would rather the 'custom' install offer you what the 'default'
would be as a starting point  (IIRC it gave you a blank sheet.)
That way you at least have a starting point for the edits.
