If I try to install 12.2 on a PC with 512MB of ram and I add during the installation the package texlive the installation fails with the error message: Installation of some package failed. Installation of 12.1 doesn't fail. The failure is due to the fact that during the (network) installation the rpms are downloaded in /var/cache/zypp/packages/openSUSE-12.2-1.6/suse/<etc> which is located in the rootfs which is a ram disk. For a 512MG PC such rootfs is about 430MB of which about 160MB (32-bit) or 240MB (64-bit) are used by the installation system and 180MB or 260MB are free and available to store the downloaded rpms. texlive is about 270MB and doesn't fit in the available free space. I can think of a couple of way to fix the issue: 1) check if the rpm fits in the available free space and if not save it in the disk where the system is installed. 2) check if the rpm fits in the available free space and if not tell the user to deselect the package that doesn't fit. Such package can be installed later and a installation failure is avoided.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce: 1.install on a PC with 512MB of ram and select to install the package texlive

I would suggest to just install minimal system and install additional packages from installed system where swap is active. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
