Please read all the bug comments / clarifications :) this enhancement request is not about "out of disk space" alert; it is about reporting the total of bytes your going to install / remove. Now that total bytes is showed when the installation step is already started (really when starting to download the packages). Other package management tools show the disk variation: SMART and Synaptics, if I'm not wrong... On 6/23/08, Michael Mientus <michael.mientus@gmail.com> wrote:

I thought it already did. I often get warnings on my notebook computer where XP is also installed. Since I rarely use Windows I trimmed it's partition to the minimum. As a result I see such warnings with 10.3. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's different. There is a low space warning (a popup, I think), and there is/was a little window space displaying how much space the install is going to use, and perhaps how much you have to download. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
