Description of problem:

I didn't look at preformat of my new ssd, when I attempted to install fedora on a drive with only 1mb of freespace it let me. The installation then failed and promted "unknown error" I then quickly realized my mistake but then is breaking the UX for new or inexperienced users and may take them some time to figure out

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora Workstation Live image anaconda installer

How reproducible:

Attempt to install Fedora on an ssd that does not have enough free space

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select The drive without enough free space, ex. 1.8mb
2. Continue normally with install
3. Note the cryptic "unknown error" message

Actual results:

"unknown error" message

Expected results:

"Not enough disk space!" message
