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
Please file bugs against the right component, thanks.
This has been addressed by the new anaconda UI, available in Fedora 40.
