Description Peter Schlaf 2006-11-19 00:12:38 UTC

During installation of openSUSE 10.2 beta 2, when software packages were copied from cd to harddisk, a message box appeared telling me something like "Harddisk almost full. Should installation continue? Yes/No".

I simply didn't know what to do, because what does "almost full" mean?

It would be more helpful to know exactly if there is still enough space left on this harddisk or not.

(Finally I answered "Yes" and it turned out that my 4GB harddisk had 7% space left after installation was finished.)

Ladislav: sounds like packager/src/modules/SlideShowCallbacks.ycp; DisplayStartInstall().

NB: To me it looks like the ckeck checks, whether everything fits on the systems root partition ( by using Pkg::TargetCapacity and Pkg::TargetUsed ). If you system has a small / and large /usr partition, warning might be triggered without need.

Please, attach yast logs (see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST)
