Description of problem: A. During the initial package selection, Anaconda doesn't offer any indication how much disk-space is required, used or available. B. Anaconda package selections do not warn the user, if there's insufficient disk space for the selected packages. C. During the installation process itself, Anaconda doesn't show any indication on how much disk space is being used / left / etc. D. Once the disk space runs out, Anaconda installation fails, with no meaningful warning and the machine reboots. (with no indication as to the source of the problem.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5T3. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from FC5T3 CD. 2. 3. Actual results: See above. Expected results: Anaconda should display the actual disk space, total remaining space and total size of selected packages. If a user selects too many packages, above the free disk space, Anaconda should display an warning message, before the actual installation takes place. If the installation fails due to insufficient disk space, Anaconda should display a meaningful error code. If possible, Anaconda should allow recovery, starting over from the initial setup stage. Additional info: N/A.
It would be useful too for Kadischi to have a "total size of selected packages" indicator. Hence we can then differentiate from build a live CD or a DVD
We should be warning if there's not sufficient disk space to do the install. Given that we don't resolve dependencies on the fly (it would be slow), we can't really give good disk space indications in the package selection screen. But we should definitely tell you there's not enough prior to actually starting to put packages on the disk. Chris -- can you try this?
We now have an error window that pops up after package selection telling you if you don't have enough space. You can also go back and adjust your selections and try again.
