[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu Server -- why so big?

I'm trying to setup Debian/Ubuntu distro, small size, text-only, no 
desktop, in VirtualBox.  So, I tried "Ubuntu Server 25.10", because 
website says 2.5GB should be enough.  Well, fresh install takes up 7GB. 
The only optional thing I included is ssh server.

Am I doing something wrong?
What do you remember when you setup your Ubuntu Server?
