Installation fails if the root partition is smaller than the estimated size of the installation. Other partitions are not taken into account, even though they would be the ones to carry most of the load (/usr, /opt). Override is not possible: YaST does offer the "continue if you know what you're doing" option at one point, but refuses to continue later on. Setup: 'Small' 300MB / ('root') partition plus LVM VolumeGroup with large 3GB /usr and /opt volumes and smaller /tmp and /var volumes. Calculated installation size of 1.9GB would fit easily, but YaST only sees the 300MB and refuses to continue installation. Workaround: Create an additional large (2GB) root LV, the old one gets to be /boot. Carry out installation. Boot system and copy data from the root LV to the /boot partition. Adjust fstab and grub settings to reflect orinigally intended disk setup. Reboot. Delete now old root LV. ==> Not a procedure the average user would want to go through... :-)
