From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: During the initial install phase I had selected a lot of packages to be installed. Unfortunately there was not enough space on the allocated hard disk to install all of them But instead of not prompting me about the same, anaconda simply crashed by informing that there was an unhandeled exception. This needs to be looked into. I suggest that either during the package selection phase itself there be a check with respect to the hard disk space available and the install size of the packages selected. Regards, Nimitt Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start RHL install text or graphics will not make difference 2. Create a small / say 1024MB 3. Select packages of install size greater than 1024MB, anaconda will crash Actual Results: anaconda crashes and the installation is terminated. Expected Results: anaconda should report that not enough space is available for installation and that some packages should be deselected. Additional info:
