yast2/installation logs

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.21) Gecko/20090410 SUSE/1.1.16-1.8 SeaMonkey/1.1.16

I ran the default install with M7 openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-Build0271-i686.iso on a 2GB VirtualBox disk and it failed badly with a full disk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a VirtualBox VM with 2GB Disk, (enable PAE,ACPI,IO-APIC)
2. in the VM run the default install with M7 openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-Build0271-i686.iso
Actual Results:  
The partitioner suggested a 1.7GB root partition and did not warn about insufficient space before starting installation.

Only later, it popped up an error dialog "Switching to Installed System Failed" not showing the true source of the error with possible actions to fix.
df in a Konsole showed /mnt to be 100% full.

Expected Results:  
the disk space should be checked and either
a) the automatic selection of packages be reduced to fit the disk-size or
b) a warning (as pop-up or text in red letters) be issued and the user allowed to change the package-selection accordingly or let continue on his own risk
c) if disk-space runs out during installation, the user should be notified of this event so that he can take appropriate measures.
