Description of problem:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
upgrade from Fedora Core 6 (updated via yum to the hilt !!)  to the new Fedora 7

How reproducible:
simply by running an upgrade install from thr F7 DVD( crated from downloaded 
ISO image)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot from DVD 
2. choose upgrade install
3. allow to run till window appears with  " An error occured transferring the 
install image to hard drive. Probably out of disk space" 
  
Actual results:
ugrade aborts 

Expected results:

(4) Bug 244519 looks similar, but it contains insuffocient info for a direct 
comparison
(5) get-around: will install from scratch (because that does work for others) 
afte saving current data and configs.
