yellowdog 2.3

[Andrew Stout]

I got this error when I tried installing with a set of partitions 
that it didn't like.  (You can find my earlier posts in the 
yellowdog-general archives about a month ago, with that error in the 
subject.)  It does probably have something to do with hard drive 
space, in that it's probably trying to install on some partition 
other than the one you think has plenty of room.  At least, that was 
the problem for me.  Don't give up yet...
