Description Johannes Pöhlmann 2006-07-21 16:53:42 UTC 
I tried to install on a 4Gig Partition.

I changed the package selection by hand.
Every change updated the bottom left free space 
indicator. In the end, it showed me 78% used space.

Installation succeded until the kdm login.
Start of kde after login failed.

Reason: Disk was nearly full. 

After deinstalling some packages kdm-Login
was possible.

In another install session Yast said 90% were used;
Later installation failed with "no space left".

Bottom line: 
Yast severely underestimates the space needed by a manual package selection

Klaus, is it possible this miscalculation comes from temporary data that wasn't deleted after the installation?
Comment 4 Christoph Thiel 2008-04-25 10:10:05 UTC 
Closing NOREPSONSE, due to missing information. Please retest on openSUSE   
11.0 and create a new bug report if the problem still persists.
