From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: If I try to install more packages than I have space for, the installer tells me that I do not have enough free space and then when I hit "OK" on that dialog, it crashes and tells me to report this bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (Text mode installation from cdrom) 1. Select Custom Workstation installation. 2. Select the defaults to most things. (The hard drive I am installing on is a 2.5 gig hard drive where around 1.2 gigs is used for linux. 80 megs for swap and what's left out of that 1.2 gigs for a big / partition ). 3. I make my Windows partition be the default in lilo and basically select the defaults to what is selected in most of the options I don't mention. 4. I select some packages that I think I would like to install, like maybe gnome, networked workstation, multimedia, X windowing system, utilities, development, and selected more than I have space for (don't know this until I OK my package selection and it gets to transferring install image) 5. It then transfers its install image to the hard drive and prepares the installation. 6. It displays that I don't have enough space to install and tells me a number of a certain amount of megs I need to install what I selected (for instance, in my case it was around 30 megs). 7. I hit OK on the not enough space warning. Actual Results: The installer crashes and tells me to save some log to a disk regarding the crash and to report it. Expected Results: I expected that it would take me back to the package selection so that I may deselect a few packages so I could get it to install in the amount of space I have. Additional info: My processor is a 75mhz AMD K5. The system has 40 megs of ram (two 32 meg edo sticks and 2 4 meg edo sticks) The hard drive is a 2.5 gig fujitsu hard drive.
