It's shown when clicking on "Yes" in this dialog box. :-)

Thanks!

Would it be possible to get access to the machine at the moment when the problem appears (you get the popup)? It looks like something was missed while copying. This routine has been already rewritten anyway, I'm just finishing testing.

BTW: From which media are you installing?

Comment 7 Stephan Binner 2007-08-02 12:17:42 UTC

I'm testing a self-made kiwi-built Live-CD within a VMware Server (to which I could give you access). You can find the media as /mounts/users-space/stbinner/live-installer-test.iso in our network.

Comment 8 Stephan Binner 2007-08-02 14:21:54 UTC

The error is gone with 2.15.2 - now it hangs for half an hour or so at 5% while "Copying root filesystem...". :-(  I updated live-installer-test.iso.

Comment 9 Jiri Srain 2007-08-03 13:07:59 UTC

The hang is in order to find the size of the files on the CD (running 'du -s <dir>'). Using 'df' does not work, since there may be some tricks with symlinks on the image.

I'm sorry but I don't know how to get rid of the "scanning" time at the beginning unless I want to give up progress completly. If you have any idea on how to be able to report progress without that time, I'd appreciate it.

Since you wrote the error is gone, I'm marking this as FIXED. Feel free to reopen if this problem appears again.

Comment 10 Stephan Binner 2007-08-03 13:41:02 UTC

That sounds very hackish :-)... Could you add reading of eg /etc/live-installer.conf where the creator of the CD can specify how much minimum disk space one needs for a succesfull installation?
