From what I've heard the disk space checking has gotten harder and there might be a reasonable argument for a config option of diskspacecheck and have it default to on. Now, I'd be prone to have it work this way. It doesn't do the check but rpm will still check for it during the install - just not do the prelim check. after all, if you're system really is short on disk space it will break and you're going to want to know what the error message is :) Does that make sense? -sv
