Aside from actually displaying the error messages, we should clean this up to where closing the error dialog does not throw an exception.

Created attachment 646498 [details] [18.29] screenshot showing "You need more space on the following file systems: 756.20 MB on /" Verifying that when there is not enough file system space, anaconda 18.29 on the F18-Beta-TC9 DVD reports the amount of additional space needed to complete the install, and that after clicking Exit Installer, the installer exits and restarts instead of attempting to report a bug. Thanks. It might be useful to report the current and required file system sizes too, so the user doesn't have to do the addition ... NB: The error records in packaging.log report the cumulative space needed for each package and all previous packages, but the wording suggests that they are reporting the space needed for each package alone: [snippets from packaging.log] ... 11:07:45,399 INFO packaging: running transaction 11:07:49,306 ERR packaging: error [2] running transaction: Could not run transaction. 11:07:49,308 ERR packaging: installing package evolution-help-3.6.1-1.fc18.noarch needs 17MB on the / filesystem 11:07:49,309 ERR packaging: installing package orca-3.6.1-1.fc18.x86_64 needs 37MB on the / filesystem ... 11:07:49,415 ERR packaging: installing package pcmciautils-018-3.fc18.x86_64 needs 721MB on the / filesystem 11:07:49,415 ERR packaging: installing package xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1:1.0.3-1.fc18.x86_64 needs 722MB on the / filesystem == Tested with: $ qemu-img create f18-test-4.img 5G $ qemu-kvm -m 1024 -hda f18-test-4.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Beta/TC9/Fedora-18-Beta-TC9-x86_64-DVD.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse
