Description of Problem: When installing, I partitioned my drive as follows: /dev/hda1 /boot 59 M /dev/hda2 /dos 2 G /dev/hda3 swap 133 M /dev/hda4 / 2G I was trying to do a custom everything install and it was telling me in the selct packages screen that it was 3+G (could the free space check be moved here? it seems to make more sense then after the format/preinstall phase since we already have the partition sizes and do size reporting). I bravely (ahem.. ) went on to ceck how well it responded to this. After preparing to install and formatting my drives, it finally comes back with "you need X amount more space on /" I click ok, and it reports a traceback! How Reproducible: Haven't tried to reproduce yet Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install without enough free space, 2. Get warned finally 3. crash Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: Will provide anaconda dump as atachment

Also.. Checking each and every checkbox except for everything i get a total install size <2G. Somehow, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, do we have over 2G of packages that are not installed in any basic install unless I purposely select them?! If so, can we have a category called "other stuff" or "things not installed by default"? Even if it's hidden, if it was at least in the comps file, I could then see what packages there are that aren't being installed by default. The 2G+ seems a bit much to have but not install, as well
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
Brent please reproduce.
Were you using the shell on tty2 and accessing anything under /mnt/sysimage in the before installing packages stage?
robinson, any additional info here?
