I tried to install with the default packages plus EMACS and development, 
installer complains at post-install configuration.  From the traceback 
errors I assume that I do not have enough disk space - my /usr partition 
is now 1.2G and I'm trying to install less than 800M of packages.  I tried 
installing with just printer support packages and this worked fine 
(however I then had no shutdown command - should I enter a new bug report 
for this?).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  On custom install select EMACS and development aswell as defaults.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Installer fails at post-install configuration

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in

How large was your '/' partition?

We recommend at least 120M.
