Description Pekka Savola 2001-07-21 17:21:52 UTC
beta2 with updates disk, bootnet kickstart.

if you have specified too long partitions, so that they don't fit on your
disk, you get a message:

Could not allocated <sic> requested partitions: Partitioning failed.  Could
not
allocate partitions.

Hitting enter generates a traceback.

Perhaps the kickstart code should check for minimal space requirements
first?

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2001-07-22 03:34:22 UTC
Changed so that partitioning errors in kickstart are fatal as that's more inline
with the way that kickstart has always worked (and partitioning warnings don't 
pop up dialog boxes now either)
